Description

P. 99. When dimyonos (delusions) and reality are joined in a dangerous mix. How is it possible that a person has a budget, knows the budget, and still overspends? Putting our hopes into the stock market, the lottery or unreasonable investment schemes. Taking out a mortgage you KNOW you can't pay! Separating good (reality) from bad (fantasy) in our minds. Imagination, properly applied, is at the core of our ability to be an oved (servant) Hashem. Using imagination to increase the kedusah (holiness) in our lives. We must learn how to separate the reality within ourselves from that part of our minds that's fantasy. When a young person "explains" to a grown-up what life is all about. Stories from Rav Weinberger in his youth as a "business" man.
