So someone called me today, and he was very tzabrochen because a relative of his was going through a very big difficulty.

And this person got separated, and they're in a financial situation and a health situation.

A lot of tzars going on.

So I spoke to him, I said, how are you feeling today? He said, he's down.

So I asked them a question.

I want them to think about the answer to this question.

I said, let's say you get a phone call right now that someone's giving you $250 million.

Would you still be down? Now, he didn't answer right away and I said, I know the answer and you know the answer.

The answer is no, you would not be down anymore as much as you feel bad for your relative.

But the bottom line is you just became a huge wealthy person and you'll be rather excited about that.

Now, maybe in the back of your head you feel a little guilty, but ultimately you're going to be very, very excited.

I said, so the only reason what now, as opposed to if a person in Rachmaninov is going through a serious tzar, a person loses a relative, close relative, even if somebody calls him up and says he won $250 million, it might alleviate a drop, but the person is so consumed by the tzar that it's not going to make a difference.

It's a real tzar.
