1:34We have a hard time convincing the store to give us a $1 discount. What, Shawarma has $10? Give it to me for $9. What do you care? I only have $9 on me. I don't have $10. If I have to walk five minutes to my house to get the other dollar, just give it to me for $9. No, no, no, no, no $9. No $9. If I give it to you for $9, I have to give it to everybody else for $9. You can't convince the guy at the Shawarma place for a $1 discount. The IRS sends you a letter. Before you even open the letter, it's already as if it's Tisha B'Av for you. What do they want? What did I do wrong? I'm an honest person. I'm just an accountant. I'm just a lawyer. I'm just working here, I'm just working there. How much do I even make? I make $500 a week. What could they possibly want from me? You’re already worrying about what's going to happen, even though you don’t know yet. They're just informing you, "Dear sir, we received your taxes." You have no idea what happened. But Hashem, if you open the letter, and it says, "We've decided to audit you." Because you're thinking they're going to find something. I don't know what they're going to find, but they must find something. They're not coming to audit me for no reason. They must know something.
2:57They must already know, and they're trying to see if I'm going to lie to them. You already have this whole story worked up in your head, and you're all stressed out. What am I going to do? I have to hire a lawyer. I can't afford a lawyer. Maybe I'm going to ask my friend. No, he's not really my friend; I haven't talked to him in six months. And you have this whole story worked up in your head. What are you going to do? And you can't sleep at night. Why? Why do you have all this stress? Because deep down inside, what do you know? You know that you can't even convince the IRS to change their mind. Whatever they find, they find. You're guilty, you're guilty. And you know you can't convince them otherwise. So, if you can't convince the IRS, you can't convince the store clerk at the shawarma place, you can't convince your wife, you can't convince your boss, you can't convince your kids, you can't convince anyone. to do anything you want in reality. What makes you think you're going to convince Hashem to let go of a billion sins you've made throughout your entire life for no reason? Why? Because you're funny? Because you're cute? Because you have long hair? Because you have short hair? Because you have blue eyes? Why? Why would He just let it go? Why? What makes you think you can convince Him?
4:22Who told you this nonsense that makes you think you can convince him to let go of one aveirah? One sin, not all of them, one. One sin. You can't convince the shawarma clerk to let go of a dollar. You think you're going to convince him to let go of $10,000 you won from a gambling trip? Because you gave tzedakah? Like he needs your tzedakah? You couldn't run the world without your hishtadlut.
