Message from an Amish Guy - R. Yossi Bensoussan - TorahAnytime.com

And this is what the Mishna I believe is trying to warn us against. Don't look until you're in the spot to look. Don't look. So you want to do walk around with my eyes closed? No. No. No. No. Be in a place. Your place. Look around your place. I was speaking one of the Amish guy today. in with this. I was speaking with an Amish guy today at the wedding and this guy says to me, I said, "It's amazing. If you ever seen like an Amish house or an Amish land, it's very it's like it they look like they're OCD. Like everything is like perfectly manicured and it's amazing when you don't have like uh Netflix like what you could do with your [laughter] life. It's incredible. It's unreal." And and I said to him, I was like, I'm so impressed with like how like and you see like the I as I was driving through Amish country, like there was this like little kid, like a eight-year-old kid maybe like on a horse like pulling a a plow or something. No one else was around him. Just this little kid just sitting over there like doing work working the land. And I said to this guy, I'm like, you know, I think it's it's so amazing that, you know, you guys take care of your He's like, "Well, we believe I don't know why he he didn't talk like that at all, but in my head, he did." He goes, "Well, we believe that the land you stand on is the land that represents you." And I was like, "Wow, for a guy who can't grow a mustache, you're very [laughter] wise." I'm like you are that it was it was crazy crazy wise my dollar amus that's what he was trying to explain your dollar amus don't look outside of your dollar amus because then all you're trying to do is say all the dollar outside of me is also bad focus in your dollar you can never get to someone else's muckling you can never get to someone else 's place because you're not supposed to be there. That's not where your focus is supposed to be. Your focus is supposed to be in your place. [cough] And this can go both ways. You could say everything's bad or you could say everyone else is good and I'm bad. Either way is wrong. Focus on your dalas on where you're standing. You'll be much happier. You can actually change that. The mission is telling you, you can actually do something about it. You can actually make an informed judgment about the mucking that you're standing in, about the place that you're standing in. That you can make a judgment because you have all the information because you've been there the whole time. And that judgment isn't bad or good. It's just a judgment of what do I need to change and what do I need to grow in? Look around your dollar amus and you can actually be a judge. When we look outside of our dollar amus, we have no place to judge because you're doing the wrong thing. It's not because we're too quick to judgement of someone else. It's because you're judging in the wrong spot. Stay in your lane. Work on you. Don't worry about what's going on outside of those dawn
