0:36That's people with kavod. They need kavod mamash to live, to breathe. This is a person that's the most miserable person in the world. He's worse than a beggar. Because even a beggar has an end to how much he wants. A beggar, he gets used to not getting much. As soon as he gets his meal for the day, he's happy. He's got it. Okay, I got $5 for the day. I'm going to eat for today. Okay, I'll worry about tomorrow, tomorrow. הוא כנראה אולי, אולי, אולי, אולי, אולי, אולי, אולי, אולי, אולי, אולי, אולי, אולי, אולי, אולי, אולי, אולי, אולי, אולי, אולי, אולי, אולי, אולי, אולי, אולי, אולי.
1:41Oh, he's gone now. He left. Who's going to see my buildings now? And he starts going back in. Please, please. I need kavod. Please. I'm dying here. I'm dying here. Why? Sir, you have a nice car. Oh, you saw my car? You saw my car? It's a nice one, right? I bought it. I paid cash. 250,000, I paid cash. I worked for the money, and I paid for it. Okay, it's a nice car. Relax, buddy. It's a nice car. I have responsibilities to attend to. Who's going to speak to me now? Please, let me continue. And he returns to his pleas for attention time and time again. Oh, you saw my wife? She's attractive, isn't she? She's 20 years younger than me. Yes, I met her in Tibet. What do you think? Nice, right? And he's constantly looking for attention, constantly looking for someone to acknowledge that he did something in the world. This is worse than any beggar you've ever seen in your life because there's no end.
2:41If you are doing a mitzvah and you want to let people know, you should know you're no different than the person I just impersonated. Oh, did you see what I did? Did you see the shiur I organized? I did it. That shiur, yeah, there were 500 people. I did it. It's me. Oh, nobody told you it was me. Yeah, it was me. I did it. Who else would do it in the community? Who else cares like me? Who else cares about the community? I love the Jewish people. Alav alav alav alav alav alav alav alav alav alav alav alav alav אני חושב שאתם, מי שחושב שיש לעם ישראל כעניין עם ישראל כעניין עם ישראל כעניין עם ישראל כעניין עם ישראל כעניין עליכם להיזהר בזה מאוד.
3:51And this mitzvah he tells them, and that mitzvah he tells them, and the whole thing he tells people, all the mitzvot that he did in his life from the time he was born until today. Poor soul. He will never have enough. And in Shamayim, instead of bringing nachat ruach (comfort) to Hashem, he's causing tsar (grief). Hashem looks and says, "Look here, my son, you're spending eternity on nothing." הוא עושה את המצווה כבר. Baruch Hashem, הוא עושה את המצווה. אבל כשאתה לוקח את זה לצעירים, לצעירים, מה הוא עושה? הוא עושה את המצווה בצורה שכל העולם רואה את זה. הוא עושה את המצווה בצורה שכל העולם רואה את זה. והוא עושה את זה, והוא ממשיך לעשות את המצווה גם באינטרנט. ואין אנשים, הם הולכים לבית הכנסת, רק בשביל החוויה. האם זה מה שאנחנו רוצים? Ah, ani im tefillin. Lama ein lecha fon b'tefillin b'tefillin bo? Ein lecha tefillin?

He didn't really go to shul at 5 o'clock in the morning because he woke up at 4, studied for 45 minutes, and then went to Beit Knesset. No, no, he was out hanging out with the guys until 4:30, and he figured, you know what, let me just go to Beit Knesset. I didn't sleep the whole night before. I didn't aim to be a tzaddik, I didn't walk around thinking, "Ahavah, ahavah, ahavah," repeatedly.
