Eighth Commandment by Jackie Engel

when we look at the eighth commandment lost signals it's means do not feel which Rashi says is really about kidnapping kidnapping a person a person's body against their will interestingly sworn oaths expands on this and says it's also three things it's kidnapping it's do not steal money and it's also don't steal intellectual property or copyright no copyright laws as we know it come from there and there's there's a concept in Torah that wherever you hear it or idea or Jewish idea you should always give credit to the person that you heard it from or where ever you learnt it from for this this reason you don't want to steal someone's idea your neighbor stars' it's called where I feel like I'm sharing an idea as if it's mine so it's interesting where does this need or desire to steal come from in all of us one simple word FOMO FOMO is the concept that I'm gonna miss out on something else right basically that it's I'm not enough is a void that I have that I'm trying to fill up either I don't feel good enough or I feel like I should be someone else this comes from jealousy it comes from desire all these different things and if we just stop long enough to remember the reality that God created all of us with our unique talents and passions and purpose and we're here for a specific reason every single person you're not a mistake you're here for a specific reason with all the good things and all the challenges you've ever had it's to achieve your potential and to build your potential and we just stopped long enough to focus on that and what is it I need to do to be able to actualize myself then I think that we would steer away from this concept of needing to have other things and needing to be like other people and we'd have more time to achieve our own greatness you
