well a jew like without questions is like like fish out of water but i spent a short period of time in yeshiva we were given material to study russia used to circulate and say what problems do you have woe to you if you had no problems what are your brain dead everything works out everything's smooth right there's no problems how can there be no problems if you're alert and you're alive you're thinking critically they're always problems you do your best to solve them but go through with no problems go through with no problems what's it what's the point of being challenged by going being challenged yeah to bring out your hidden potential potential that you didn't know you have and other people didn't know that you had to show what human being is capable of he knows what you'll be able to do he knows what you'll do when he challenges you but no one else knows people measure themselves comparatively how well am i doing well what percentile am i in that's how we measure ourselves 98 percentile i'm doing fine abstractly i could have been doing much better but if i'm doing a 98th percentile i'm satisfied it's very important to know what people are capable of by putting them through those trials and and they're performing as they do the whole world knows what they were capable of and what your mommies are capable of at the same time like you could say that what happens if you have a challenge that leads you onto a bad side of you do you know what i mean yeah i didn't say you're challenged
