The Price Of Honor And Power

Mussar: A person has everything a Goy can want!! Fame, endless money, beautiful women to his hearts desire, a lovely family with adoring children and grandchildren. But one thing eludes him - More honor and being the most powerful man on earth. He will only get the honor and power he knows he deserves ["למי יחפוץ המלך לעשות יקר יותר ממני" said Hay-man] if he is elected President of the USA. So with exactly not even 5 minutes of experience in politics - he runs. Miracle of miracles - he wins, insulting his opponents all the way through. Low energy Jeb, Lyin' Hillary, Basket of deplorables etc. etc.

HE MADE IT TO THE TOP!!! TOOOOPPP GUNNN. 😎 Tom Cruise himself - just not as good looking. 

Now he has been impeached. He is the most humiliated person on the planet right now. Even if he manages to stay in office he will always be remembered for this. So from all of the Kavod - he has to endure [rightfully or not - that is not the point here. Machlokes Fox Vi-CNN] בזיוני בזיוני בזיוניות!!!  

Remember the lesson. הקנאה התאווה והכבוד מוציאין את האדם מן העולם. He has all three in surplus - and all three have cost him dearly. 

Note: He is arguably the most Pro-Jewish Pro-Israel President in the history of the Republic AND the economy is booming [על שלשה דברים העולם עומד - על הכסף על הכסף ועל הכסף!!]. Unemployment is at an all time low. He is trying to keep out the drug dealers and rapists from Mexico [not all illegal Mexican immigrants are criminals - but some are...]. What more can we ask for??!! My point is not his politics but the lessons of the dangers of the pursuit of honor and power. All of this honor and power have ultimately brought him down - big time. The bigger they are - the harder they fall. King Solomon - לפני שבר, גאון.

Most famous people's personal lives are a complete mess. This is so not DESPITE their fame and fortune but rather BECAUSE of their fame and fortune. Irony of ironies.   

My advice - THINK small. Don't aspire to be the BIG BOSS, the ALL POWERFUL leader. אהוב את המלאכה ושנא את הרבנות. Be a good, honest, hard working Jew, a loyal friend, a devoted parent, give a lot of tzdaka, contribute to society as much as you can - and check your ego at the door with the proverbial coat lady [and put a buck in the cup]. 

Eg"o - Edge G-d Out. 

Be humble, unassuming and self effacing. With a smile and a kind word for ALL😊😀.
