(btw this has always bothered me but i never commented till now). if "x" is a tzadik then what was r' aryeh levin, an uber-tzadik? praise is like a teabag, the more you use it the less powerful it is. Who is a Tzaddik?בן בנו של ר׳ יהושע בן לוי ראה עליונים למטה ותחתונים למטה - כי אותם שהם גדולים בתורה ובמעשים טובים בעוה״ז והיה בכח וחוק הכנתם לעשות יותר ולא עשו, הם בעוה״ב למטה מן מדרגת התחתונים ושפלים מהם שלא השיגו לעשות כל מה שעשו הם ולא נמנעו אלא מפני מיעוט הכנתם. (מבי״ט בהקדמה לס׳ בית אלהים) Which essentially means that you can be in עוה״ב greater than R Shlomo Kanievsky and even than his father מורינו הג״ר Chaim שליטא or his great-grandfather R Aryeh Levin ז״ל. How are we to know??? (We can however safely assume that these forementioned tzadikim בכח וחוק הכנתם לעשות יותר והם עושים) I consider someone like yourself our dear Shlomo - that has made great personal strides - as a great צדיק, and we avidly keep tabs on you and follow your truck religiously. Worried about wringing the teabag of praise? Another צדיק of ours (Cord') has a truckload of tea, so don't worry about that And I need to mention one thing which my Gabbai alluded to All us strugglers and lustaholics have deep emotions. I will get very upset if someone makes light of compliments that i mentioned Let NO ONE turn around and say "I'm not the צדיק you think i am..." Not you or Cord' or anyone. Not here not in the having fun forum or anywhere. Personal negative shares are fine, that's what we all do, but personality determinations? We need positive input, and it's real KO TLC i hear your point and i always thought u were being sincere, it's something that i don't like using and i also don't like when ppl call me a lot of praises, i can't stand that. i really don't like kiss ups. (i am not insinuating that anyone here is one). on the other hand one of the most meaningful compliments i ever recieved was from my rebbi who texted me "my pleasure, tzadik" in response to me thanking him for something. i felt really good inside b/c i really looked up to him and he doesn't throw around praise. if he said it then he meant it, even if he meant it in a "tzaddikle" way as opposed to a "righteous" kinda way. aight. i am done talking abt this. i don't like when my thread has controversy or arguments on it. love you all. (that one was for you mark)
