in a ukraine so everyone is cordially uh invited to join us okay so we're continuing in the year samostra solanter spoke about the age-old dilemma what exactly is the yetzer hara how do we define the eight sahara some say sahara is the kayak of taiwa desire evidenced by the fact that different people have different proclivities to different averroes and that could be explained by the fact that since we have different uh personalities and different tendencies so people have uh different typos and uh different typos and that is the opinion that the itsahara is the kayakataiva on the other hand taiva alone does not explain the various sins that people commit sometimes people commit sins that are cannot be explained by taiva alone the rabbis writes this is not the only plausible explanation for the itsahara inu is we see people who do we see people who do awesome sins shayen ta'avasam garmalahim khaka that their taivo does not cause it them that much sometimes desire actually counteracts and contravenes and would pull someone in the opposite path you could have somebody who has great desire for covet there are people like that you know who's like that everybody the musil who's like that everybody the musil susham writes that the biggest motivation in a person's heart is covered and if you don't acknowledge that it's only because you're not alive but as anybody who's actually breathing says massive sharing covet is the greatest drive in a human being and yet despite the fact that people desire covoid when you tell someone you know why don't you do a lot of mitzvos you're going to get a lot of recognition in this world in the next
