me	GUARD said he'll try making it, but only if 30 people come, so far we have a grand total of 3! I personally don't consider myself worth more than "0". so, if we put the zero after the 3 we already have, can this work?

Hey, good point. It all depends where you put the zero. If you put yourself first - you are worth zero. If you put yourself last - you are worth tenfold.

Gibbor, that's a good one.

You are happy the way you are. It's only once you realize that you are 0, then you will be willing to put yourself last. You realize that your true worth comes from serving others.

me	It's only once you realize that you are 0, then you will be willing to put yourself last. I knew of a guy once that was "zero", but he believed he was a big shot, rode a horse and had a very sharp sword in his hand.

Eye.nonymous OFFLINE Platinum Boarder Posts: 2696 Karma: 15	HEY! Like on the 90-day chart can we, for chizuk, factor in CUMULATIVE ATTENDANCE? If you put together all the people who attended all the GYE kumzitzes all together, we've got way more than 30!!! --Elyah

Hashem Yaasfeni	I just heard Rabbi Avigdor Miller quote Koheles, hakol hevel havalim, everything in life is a bunch of Zeros, 000,000,000... but if you put Hashem Echod first then you have.. 1,000,000,000... Were all Millionaires, or is that billionaires....?!

The morning after the night before.
Never ask a blind beggar to lead you to a place that you have never been to before, if an old friend hadn't come out we would still be wandering the streets of Torah Town.
It was great to meet you, Shmiras and Tehillim Zugger. Guard was there in spirit and Ovadia was thousands of miles away, so he couldn't come.
It was a big chizuk to meet fellow strugglers and users of the Forum and the Tools.

Thank you Shmiras the host and everyone who came.

The Blind Beggar is a character in Rebbe Nachman's story of the Seven Beggars.
If I view a woman as an object, I am powerless over lust, but I don't have to look.
I can guard my eyes.
I want to guard my eyes.
I do guard my eyes.
Why do I say these four lines?
