that the decisions that they make more often than not are disastrous the amount of mistakes that are being made on an average week by the average person is literally incomprehensible we're not talking about small mistakes the more powerful a person is the more successful a person is the bigger the mistakes you see people that literally sign a hundred million dollar contract to be an athlete to go run around with some ball or to throw a ball or whatever to hit a ball or all the people that have movies to to perform for a few weeks and they get a hundred million and 50 million and then they do this not just once they do this multiple times and they're literally being given like a treasure a treasure that is like you only talk about in in fairy tales and they're given this treasure they're given a hundred million 50 million 500 million all types of huge amount tons of money or they start a company or they start a product and they make a fortune that way and then these idiots what do they do after wasting their money on a bunch of things that they don't even need aside from that they risk it all for what for some girl for some guy for some for some filthy disgusting lust some some uh some prostitute some uh rape some uh uh violence they Risk Everything you see famous stories there's no end if you watch my uh film the world of Lies how many of these filthy people did people admire Michael Jackson Bill Cosby Steve Jobs all of these people and you see how these people literally made the worst decisions in the world they were very smart people when it came to that profession but everything else around it literally you you're not even sure how this person arrived at any success Beyond going to the bathroom with such a mentality you took Harvey Weinstein that had literally a a Empire of billions and billions of dollars risked it all why just to have a few things that he that don't belong to him women that don't belong to him children that don't belong to him everyday doesn't belong to him he wanted everything that doesn't belong to him you can buy everything you want but you only wanted something that didn't belong to you this is common in society and it's important for us to know this too is in a Torah when a person lives a life that is in essence forsaking the Torah thinking that he or she knows better than the Torah so we see here this is balak this is balak but what about that in essence he spoke to God you would think if somebody knows who God is believes in the one God even if they're uh uh ideology is wrong even if they're uh the way they believe in God is wrong like the Christians that believe in idolatry because their God is uh divided into three or you have the the Muslims that uh their uh their God hates his own people all types of demented mentalities but nonetheless you could say these people are religious according to them so what happens with those people what happens with those people you still see them making those very same mistakes and in fact many times worse mistakes than a person that is completely removed from God how come is that example where bilam is interested in being this mercenary that goes and curses the Jewish people he hates the Jewish people he knows about the Jewish people he has known about the Jewish people he was one of the three uh generals that uh uh served where when uh was a just a little baby that but yeah the daughter of uh found him and uh bilam saw that uh this little baby Moshe took the crown of parole and he told this is probably the kid this is the kid that's probably gonna try to take your king Hood she's gonna try to kill you one day and he literally tried to entice this little baby he hated Moshe he hated amisel despite being a person that speaks to Hashem a prophet so now you see this has a Target what's the target target is to destroy Amis land yeah but you do realize that Hashem Israel yes you do realize that Hashem Israel You're My Chosen People yes you do realize that who loves am Israel yes you do realize that amissah follows who gave them yes but you still want to curse them you still want to go against them you still want to destroy them what gives like how do you rationalize this well it was given to me an opportunity I didn't ask I was just sitting here with my wife the donkey and uh you know send me some Messengers that wants me to uh he appreciates my uh my abilities despite the fact that I tried killing him and uh he wants to hire me as a mercenary to go and curse them what's the problem yeah but you're cursing the very same nation that God loves yeah but if God loved him so much why did he allow balak to uh to come to me that's the rationalization of the heretic of the wicked bilam [Music] thank you [Music]
