[Music] n great to uh be back here we here a little over a month ago got a lot of good feedback from people that we here people that watched it online you know it's say it always amazes me how when Hashem wants something to be spread when hasm wants Torah to get somewhere it gets there it doesn't matter whether we want it or not it doesn't matter whether we think it could happen or not it has nothing to do with us we are only responsible for effort effort that's it you come to this world to exert effort NE the execution the actual outcome of anything whether it succeeds or it fails has nothing to do with you absolutely nothing it's all hashem's hands only thing you can do is try you try to wake up in the morning you try to go pray you do what but whether hasem decides to accept this prayer or not it's up to him and that's one of the things that it's amazes me all the time is that all of our prayers are being answered when we're trying to do and we try to reach different people sometimes it takes a little longer than others sometimes it is a uh you know it's it's it's frustrating because you see someone such a beautiful soul such an amazing person but just going in the wrong direction poor guy poor girl you just it breaks your heart that they don't know the the truth it breaks your heart that they're blind but they don't even know it and the worst type of sick person is a person that doesn't know he has a disease because then he's just wasting his life instead of going and enjoying life trying to figure out the purpose of life during his last moments what does he do he goes to
