Never Back Down - R. Yitzchak Sakhai - TorahAnytime.com

You know, when there's a war between two countries and one country is noticing that they're losing because they don't have enough ammo anymore, they don't have enough explosives anymore, what do they do? This is one of the arts of war. They give it one last go. Hopefully, it's not their last. They take everything they've got, which could last them, let's say, a month of ammunition and bombs and and they use it all in one day. It's [music] a risk, but why do they do it? Because they want the other side to think, "Yo, they just used all of that in one day? They must have an arsenal that's going to last them [music] 10 years." If they're so freely giving out, like in one day, they used up what we would have used up in a year. But but it's a risk. You don't know if it's true or not. But really, from their point of view, it's a last [music] call. For them, it's like their last dying scream. They have nothing else and they're saying for one last shout-out, one last cry out before they are annihilated. One big shot. Either it works or it doesn't. Sometimes it does. That's what the yetzer hara does. When the yetzer hara realizes that you're so close to doing something so magnificent, so [music] great, so everlasting, so changing, what does the yetzer hara do? Throws you Throws everything at you. >> [music]
