In Florida they have dog races where they have dogs running around a track chasing a fake rabbit. This rabbit is electric and it always runs enough ahead of them to keep them going, but they never catch it because if they did they would realize that it is not a real rabbit, and they never run again.We are like those dogs, chasing a fake rabbit. We spend our lives chasing after fake goals and we are never happy.
Real happiness comes from closeness to Hashem.
from a Shiur on Aish.com by Rabbi Zev Leff
Thank you for this beautiful mashel! It is a good point, people are always running after more gashmius and more things and the more they aquire, the more they want. Things will never make someone happy, only coming closer to H-shem will. I really like this post, and I enjoy your blog immensely.
