Three years ago my step dad's Dr gave him 6 months to live, he lasted bout 18 months. I believe all that truly matters is that which will bring us comfort on the death bed - the cultivation of closeness with others and fearless cultivation of our selves. Wisdom and knowledge is gained through pain and suffering not from the "good, easy" times. Wishing a great day to whoever reads this

All religions, all this singing, one song. The differences are just illusion and vanity. The sun’s light looks a little different on this wall than it does on that wall, and a lot different on this other one, but it’s still one light.
I had a life of family, a successful career as a teacher, worked for special causes, dealt with all the ups and downs life hands out and now, I just want to be alone with my animals, to work in my garden and help our neighbors when I can. That’s enough for now. I don’t want to deal with any more “difficult” relationships , w problematic family members (who are mostly dead anyway), or with disfunctional people. Many saints lived quiet lives in solitude. I’m no saint but I’m blessed with a life of relative serenity now, with no “family” except the animals and trees. Having people around all the time is draining…I’m happy to be by myself.
As a non jewish married woman nearing 60, I can confirm this man is right. Life has not always been easy, but I am proud to say that me and my husband are still very content with each other, we love our son, and we have one parent left between us and we are very close to him. It is very fulfilling.

My cousin was very successful professionally, but she had no family. When her mother bragged about her success, my mother told her that she was not a success. She had no husband, no children. Lived in a one bafroom condo in Manhatten. When she finally got married at 48 and with effort, she had a child at 51naturally (what a miracle) she quit that successful career to be a full-time mother and wife. She finally realized what is really important in life
Many older single/unmarried/childless women are more content than married women. They don't have men to abuse them and drag them down. Most men just want temporary relationships-- or they want a house servant and baby making machine at home while they have tons of lovers on the side.
So by having a husband and child makes you successful oh right. So how come So many women are depressed then who have that, your mum sounded jealous of her niece's success and maybe because she wasn't happy and fulfilled in life!
@peacefamily212 your comment is nonsensical. The number of single women has never been so high, and that coincides with the highest number of women suffering from depression.
Grown up baby here lol. I'm not religious exactly, but I'm seeking a spiritual path. Like many others in the world, I have a broken traumatic family history and also watched my dad chase women, fast feelings, and the easy life without regard for other people or his family. He's 75 and unhappy, but I feel for him in his lostness. I'm 41, unmarried, and feel like a spiritual baby after listening to this. I want to change my life and engage seriously with the world. I want to do some good before I die and quit chasing things that don't matter. I think I'm going to go see my friend's rabbi in town and ask him how a regular old Joe like me can start living a life of meaning and serving others. Being selfish is no fun lol.
Good for you, so good to see someone care enough to be thé change needed to come out of trauma, be the light ❤❤❤❤ you are on the right path blessings your way…keep your spiritual awareness up and you will see the guidepost …I always ask what is the lesson here that I am supposed to see,. The bad things are the most important lessons for sure that why they hurt so much
didn't know it takes luck to know God and why LUCK is part of religion sounds trickery though needs be. Frustrated with Mark: from Christian to atheist to ignostic and the horror of it all. atheist telling me go read Mark 14 verse 50-51 only making Jesus a pedifile they believe. yet, I believed them frustrating me to atheist. But then I read Mark: 14 verses 45- 57 longer incontext! Jesus prays to God to let this Suffering Pass from him but God did not for the admonishment of dying for all sins has to be completed. the complete suffering of Jesus to truly Die in horror for all Man kind. Shocking and I feel the understanding better now of how Jesus really suffered for us. Jesus later Builds a lake of fire for any one who doesn't believe he suffered at all as the unforgivable sin is not Murder rape steeling lying. but, simply not believing with a Skeptical Brain God made for us to know the difference between a scam or trick. do atheist and the Roman empire know Jesus was Flesh of God knowing he has heaven and hell in the grasp of his own Hands and doesn't really care for us said atheist because they think he doesn't exist or did exist but never had any powers doing strange magical things !!! but,after reading Mark 14: 48-53: I feel Jesus did not know' the suffering coming ahead of him when God seeded in to mary' a Good child growing Man with No Sin'. Jesus asked God in the end of his life suffering Why have you GOD' forsaken me? why' leave me alone as if I am like a suffering animal to just perish and never exist again after all this unfathomable Punishment and wicked sin you put me through . really upsets me now for the Good when mommently Jesus awakens me again for it must have Happened. Jesus wants us to believe him but instead we call him a wicked evil pedifile and never healed any one say again the atheist. I better Now see the suffering Jesus went through as a good normal Man made to do all this wickedness . this really hurts but it tells something No Man would dare knowing the guilt and suffering it would couse them and billions might or would Commit suicide commiting such yet they were still sinners that would take the crushing load off also.. I still feel frustrated why millions of inoccent babies Die each year and never stood a chance to live. maybe because the evil of beng born effected what can not be fixed would destroy the tiny seed of faith? any parts of all meaning yet Why God lets it this way today for generations up on Generations. still contradictions of scriptures are proven. may be because his Best Man still is not full or Saint including the Pope for they are not Jesus. yet the Book sometimes opens our eyes but not often enough but to seem like trickery . this is life in hell and the pain of our hearts minds souls feeling the hell of what Jesus went through is a tad Comparing to his suffering maybe ? Possibly the amount of suffering Jesus went through in 1 day would feel like 2000 years of suffering for man which is not fathomable but the Bible is way to long when all Christians incuding my self only know 20% or less of Scriptures and why .. So many wonderful things Jesus said is inspiring yet a must to asure us!!! but, Anecdotal spiritual proof of this hangs on us for over 2000 years... and Science proving the earth has been here millions and not 8-10,000 years is Frustating. Seems like God just play's with us some times and why he used Job like a yo yo bouncing back and forth for no reason but to prove to a Good Man that God is stronger than Job and could put a good man in fire if God wanted. See so much we don't know because we don't get to know is frustrating in its self.. why Harvard or oxford Students who want to become ministers but, after completing the Bible and Book of Romulus with 2 baby brothers drifting down the river in a basket moses was sopposed to sounds like a practice book? they instead become instant atheist accordingly is very upsetting and frustrating. I can't keep asking and begging for Jesus to give me understanding for life when he leaves me hanging more than any other possible thing he could do with full power . how much suffering does a human need to fathom but can't. when the educated intelligent science knowledgable tells me because it keeps getting smarter and us in to faith that carries nothing but, only a mustard seed that Science Proved is not the smallest seed on earth A-MEN.
Rabbi sounds like my Papa; words of wisdom that will guide you through life. I'm 67, and his words still guide me to a life of peace and contentment. What a treasure.

He is so right. I remember when I was single, I was making good $$$$, I would shop like crazy. One day, I came home from shopping, had like 10-15 dresses with me. I threw them on the living room, I sat down, weeping, feeling miserable and lonely. That was my turning point to invest in a meaningful relationship, with my husband.
@@annedonnellan6876 Bullshit. Muslims have killed more people, mostly each other, than all other ideologies combined. Atheism is the second-most genocidal ideology & both are full of people who think that rape & genocide are doing good.
I'm not from any of the Abrahamic traditions but I would like to thank The Rabbi for his clear simple telling of this universal truth . We are so very lucky to have Elders like this man in our Global community
Material wealth and material pleasure generally don't make people happy. Happiness is generally derived from real meaningful commitments and obligations. I firmly believe that happiness is generally derived from work - work that you find meaningful.

I think you reversed that meaning. Everyone is talking at each other, but no one is communicating, which is a word that means that you're both expressing yourself and listening to each other. It IS possible
The problem here is the marriage bias. Not being married doesn’t mean you aren’t an adult or that you can’t be responsible. Outside of that, he’s right. Just the wrong focus. You have to work on yourself, single or married. And he’s right that doing marriage right is hard but doing single right is too. This is true because being an adult is hard in both circumstances. You have to work on yourself either way and realize it’s not about me.
Absolutely true, not married, no kids, but in a relationship, and very much and adult taking responsability!! Im also a happy person, never regret not gettimg married and have kids,ever. I see so many unhappy families around me, so i enjoy my entertainment, my freedom and time to do the things i want😉
You are right. My step ather was boarded out at the age of 9 yo workforce a farmer. His bed was in the barn with the cows. He had a bed closet to sleep in. My father had to quite school in the 4th grade toward at home in the family dairy. My sister in law became a maid at the age of 13. This was in 1920 to 1950.
My God how old are you if this was in 1920 to 1950? you must be up there!! we suffered early familly life praying and still today my mother sisters fallowers of God died of mistakes of correct denominations or of a God who can't give us the correct one whether it be Seventh say Advantist J WITNESS ,Catholic Prodestant or a lot who call them selves nondenominational but still serve a building called something is still a denominational fact.. None of them are the correct one even when so many say they are is impossible. every body's take 20% of scriptures as there choice being contradictions is all it does. this is the way the USA works with uncountable churches with different names of these Denominations. Let the Creator decide how to fallow it when it decides. Knowing very little of a very very long Bible makes it difficult to know in full complete context. half of the denominational preachers ministers only give a small portion reaping it.
Your video appeared in my feed and I was not expecting much. Wow! You opened my eyes and made me realize that my feelings of depression are not abnormal. It is part of life to feel stuck at times. I didn’t experience life 60 years ago and im now more grateful than ever with everything I have today. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with me!

@@rul4522Well, the 'Allah' of the Quran is not 'love', nor does he love. He is a *slave Master* to those who *Submit* to him. But the God of the Bible is love, and does love. He is a *Father* to His spiritual children - those who *trust* in Him.
@ingela_injeela Before you write nonsense educate yourself. Investigate truth before you spout lies. You clearly have no idea what you are talking about.
Life is about other people is the gist of what this rabbi is saying, exactly what our elders here on the continent of Africa have been preaching for ever.
If that is what your elders are teaching, we can all agree they have acquired wisdom. We are social creatures. Material possessions ease the difficulties of life, but if those THINGS replace our regard for close association with family and friends, we are left with emptiness.
Damn this hit hard. This was my conclusion after having almost lost my wife to disease. Life is getting married, having kids, and keeping friends. My most pleasurable moments are taking my daughter for a walk. It costs no money, but is absolutely priceless to me.
@@oscaralegre3683Agree with you ! ...... I have no kids..not owning a house or have any car,,,,but travelled around the world , living abroad....but thanks to one of my parents my life have been a struggle and a little hell....but I have forgiven...not that.... Abusers exists, and I had to leave one of those behind .....and I have to keep going no matter how lonely it feels....Being creative helps....Anyway I am entirely agree with much of what this teacher tells us...Thank you!
@@nne81601this message doesn't cover the exceptions of abusers-dealing with that is just an entire echelon of wisdom not covered here. One born of deep pain from unhealthy relationships and growing strong enough within yourself to get away to some other useful occupation. May G-d give you encouragement and refreshing in your spirit!
Not 'anti-fun'? That might be true, but if you look at all the major religions, they have generally not agreed with that notion, at best believing G-d to approve of very limited sorts of fun and even there telling one when, where, and what attitude to have having it.
Give me convenience or life. We need to grow up and realize life is a struggle but if you work hard enough you may become rich with wealth and money, but this should not be the reason for living to become better than everyone else. Be the best you can be for yourself but never expect this to be easy. Jealousy breeds resentfulness and spite. In the long run this forms a toxic personality.
@@reneburger4317 I'm 46 years old, and my current 5 year goal is the be living in Latin America by the time I'm 50 (if we haven't broken into civil war by then.) I already live in a rural community. Left the city after 40 years. I'll never forgive these f*ckers for what they have done to the family unit in our country. It's ridiculous that your average man has to go overseas to find a wife, because they have turned western women into a bunch of rabid feminist who hate us. Almost all dating is being done online now, and western women only swipe right on 5% of the men. Honestly, I'd rather fight and die in another civil war, than have to go overseas for a wife. F*ck this garbage country! 😡
Randomly stumbled on this page. Speaking as a middle age male, single secular that grew up in a divorced family, the Rabbi makes some resonable points that life isn't about Hedonism. And at least on societal level procreation is important because without that obviously humanity would end Without some company life would also be terribly lonely. If the Rabbi has found someone that he's happy with kudos to him. Thought I would offer my two drachmas from a different perspective because i think the Rabbi has a bit of an oversimplified view of the single life which can vary person to person. I am a romantic type. I wanted a family. Not having a significant other sometimes lead to bouts of depression Alas it wasn't in the cards for me. I've had mostly long term relationships. The last woman I was with for seven years. It wasn't passionate love like I experienced once with a girl when I was younger but I thought we were both happy. We lived together. We talked about children but were undecided on the matter. We often talked about how important it was to communicate any problems to prevent any resentments from fermenting.. We would do things together. We rarely argued about anything. Then one day she tells me she's going to leave... tomorrow! Never even did me the courtesy to explain why. I got over it quickly. I felt more stupid for showing poor judgement than angry or hurt. I reasoned someone that would do such a thing so abruptly to another person after so much time treating them with dignity and affection wasn't for me. I have gone on a few dates since then. Although I'll keep trying, it gets harder to meet people you can connect with as you age. it also doesn't help I feel spent emotionally. I've resigned myself to the likelihood I'll probably be single for the rest of my life. Fortunately despite my relationship failures I still manage to experience mostly happiness. A big part of that is my dog. I think of her as I imagine some couple thinks of their toddlers except with a dog they are toddlers their entire lives. I know one day I will have to face life without her. I'm not sure what will happen then but for today I'm happy. Most of my time still goes to immersing myself in my work, my intellectual interests, and online debate. I also make time to spend with my friends, siblings, and relatives. It's difficult to judge for certain someone else's inner life since one can't experience someone else's emotions. Nevertheless, at this precise moment in time, I think I'm happier than most people I have known that are in marriages. There are exceptions, but most of the couples I have known over the years are miserable . I get a sense many are together because they fear being alone. And more often than not couples end up in divorce. It's tough to pin down all the reasons, but I would argue one for so many failed relationships.. unrealistic expectations. We are inundated with images of exceptually beautiful, extremely funny, or highly successful individuals in the media. I think this creates a mindset in many that the other person must conform to some standard of near perfection or one is settling for something that would not make one happy. In other words, many look at the other person as a form of entertainment, for themselves. My dog on the other hand does not provide me wealth. Or intellectual debate. Or sex. Or jokes. Or status. It provides me nothing of utility back. Just it's happiness. A wagging tail and curling by my feet is enough. Knowing my dog is happy, makes me feel great joy. What the experience has taught me is when it comes to happiness what really matters is finding something you feel enough love to nurture.. Where being loved back matters to happiness is in the sense that it's hard to give love to someone else if they don't want your love. So for those that have not found romantic love, my advice would be find something you can still give your love in other ways. Whether that's in the form of a pet, or mentoring someone else's kids, or keeping the elderly company, or charity work, or whatever. Find a way to express your own love for something else even if you don't get anything back other than a genuine smile or just a wagging tail. There is no greater joy I have ever felt in life than knowing something I love enough to nurture is happy just being around me.
As a single person, I agree. The religious are very family orientated, and that's fine, we need it if the human race is to continue to survive. But to my way of thinking, the most important thing is to work on ourselves, to improve ourselves from the inside out! And for that we need to have relationships with others around us, not just humans but other life forms, and with nature in general, with all of life. This is what brings true meaning to life, improving our relationship to life from within and without. You can call it work, you can call it entertainment, whatever, but it has to have a greater meaning than simply staying alive and "Having Fun". Well, that's just my one cent on the subject!❤
marriage is not suppose to be like "oh you married you happy" marriage is about work! and improve and build it together with a long long time. you can't do it alone and you can't do it with your dog. and yeas cause it's a hard work sometimes it's very hard and you not happy, but that's the whole point. that's the truth of everyone. life didn't meant to be easy anyway. if it's easy, it's boring. and we see it everywhere, many people this day are bored out of their mind and looking for something to do with their life
@@mayaha200 I never suffer from boredom. One positive aspect of being single and in good health is you can pursue your interests without worrying about the effects on someone else's life. And I don't mean vacations and entertainment, I mostly mean intellectual and career pursuits. I agree with much of what the Rabbi says but there is nothing someone can do if they cant find someone else that has no interest in loving them back. Where I disagree, he's a bit patronizing towards those that are single by treating them as some stereotype. He also doesn't consider enough how lucky he is to find a wife that wants to be with him. That was not just his decision. It was his wife's too . Had she met someone else first the Rabbi might have ended up with no one. Then he would have been faced with the real world issues being single involves rather than just his theoretical view of being single. The biggest issue is loneliness which if left unchecked can bring on depression which can be incapacitating. When i used to have bouts of depression it was precisely because I treated finding a romantic companion as everything. Whether single or in a relationship, happiness to a certain degree is like food. Too much food is bad for us. The pursuit of happiness shouldn't be the sole focus of life but like a good diet it shouldn't be completely ignored either. Without happiness you have real world negative effects of loss of interest in doing anything including work. That serves no one including oneself. I'm not advising the single life as some ideal. I'm just saying for those that never found a significant other that they don't need to be miserable about it much less bored. As long as someone is reasonably happy, they can still push towards goals. And at least in my case, I found that happiness not through buying frivolous things or paid entertainment but by just finding ways to express love in different ways.
@@kathy1310 Yup. I read a statistic recently that seculars contribute 6 times more in tax to Israeli coffers than the ultra orthodox. Seculars are usually the ones with the high tech startups that power Israel's economy. Not saying this is necessarily the Rabbi or applies to everyone religious, but I think some religious sorts greatly undervalue the contributions of seculars. Being secular doesn't; mean someone is necessarily smarter but it influences how one spends one's time. Einstein was brought up very religious. Had he been studying Torah later in life rather than physics and math it is unlikely we would know his name today.
@mydogsbutler you my friend are so beautiful to me. The girl who left you in my eyes is a fool. And that's all I have to say except that true happiness is unconditional. Wise men say, "There is no way to happiness; HAPPINESS IS THE WAY". peace and love, yishmirai 😇🙏🏿💫

We are very rich living in American capitalist psychopath society, namely most people are living from paycheck to paycheck, with no healthcare, no pensions, and just a paycheck away from being homeless. But we are all rich here. LOL.
Life is about meaning and purpose. About care. If you do marry and have children you will fail in life if you don’t “Care”! But you will also fail if you are the only one doing the caring. People are complex beings. They can make you bitterly unhappy. So loving yourself, doing your best in all you do and having a relationship with God is what brings peace to your soul.
I am Muslim and I totally subscribe to this deep wisdom. In fact, all mystical schools say the same thing. Growth involves pain and taking responsibility.
That's why we were created the way we are; from our selfishness we are to learn selfless, unconditional love. It is the only way to stay married. It is parenting. Through these divine blessings we learn the scope and burden of the Lord's love for us all and the meaning of Yeshua Ben Yosef's ministry and commandment. "Love one another as I have loved you."
I don't know how I came across this video but I have one thing to say. This is a wise man with a wise message. Regardless of your religious beliefs, everyone should listen to this.
Thank you so much for your wise words. This was an affirmation for the ups and downs experienced in my own life- the struggles and losses are a key part of the path to intimacy and finding the divine within ourselves.
I have never married, no children. I avoided responsibilities and obligations. I have freedom, peace, no tragedy, no risk of a child being born blind, deaf or with down syndrome. And I have travelled extensively and worked in many different places doing all sorts of jobs. Marriage simply isnt worth it for me.
Childhood is a disaster for millions of people, all unnecessarily. We blame them for being useless adult children, rather than fixing the cause - as always. Fix parenting. Then their children can become adults.
I don’t deny we have a huge problem with parenting. However, lots of us didn’t have good parents and we are still decent humans. I have three very compassionate sisters. I’m amazed sometimes how we turned out when I look at our parents!
I take issue with a lot of this. The concept of wanting to enjoy life through entertainment and having fun is not a symptom of the modern age but has always been part of the human condition. Even and sometimes especially the poor have always let their hair down to escape the daily tortures of their hard hard lives. Im afraid he has a very limited view of what is acceptable as a life well lived. But tbf its religiious content. Be a decent person, dont hurt anyone.and do what brings you joy, sing, paint, travel eat pizza.
The question is if there is nothing left in the after world, if die means really die, if one lose the life means the one will not exist in the universe anymore. And we all know that any human being will die in one day, parents, children, someone we love, someone we hate, some we know, some we don’t know, and of course ourselves, we all will become nothing in one day. Then, why we need to stay in a difficult life rather than enjoy the moment that we have at present?
I dunno, my parents got divorced, my grandparents got divorced, my parents abandoned me, so did my siblings.... so... What you're saying doesn't make sense.....I just work hard to survive, people aren't so helpful, and Torah is what fulfills me.
My parents were not good models. They ended up getting divorced as well. I’d like to think that from their lesson(s) or bad example, I was able to find a fulfilling relationship with my husband that didn't resemble the toxic behavior of my parents. Going on 24 years together with our 3 teenagers. And I would like to think, we are advantaged as a family because of the last thing you mentioned… we have Torah in our hands ❤
he said it is hard to form meaningful relationships. Actually, thats the hardest thing in life. So, its to be expected not everybody will achieve it . Your relationships can be a great source of happiness, and also the greatest source of your sorrows, as he himseld implied when he said the people we are most likely to hurt are the closest. The problem is, there is no possible happiness without achieving meaningful relationships. There are surrogates in which we can find some form of consolation, but not real happiness
He's correct except the part about leisure...most I'd argue spent more time with friends and family prior to industrialization, especially when compared to modern America
Ethics. For both Plato and Aristotle, as for most ancient ethicists, the central problem of ethics was the achievement of happiness. By “happiness”, they did not mean a pleasant state of mind but rather a good human life, or a life of human flourishing. The means by which happiness was acquired was through virtue. Thus ancient ethicists typically addressed themselves to three related questions: (1) What does a good or flourishing human life consist of?, (2) What virtues are necessary to achieve it?, and (3) How does one acquire those virtues? This leads us to explorations of the nature of various conventional virtues, such as courage, piety, and temperance, as well as more general questions, such as whether virtue can be taught.

I’m not a fan of his argument, which is, “if you are not living a life which he deems responsible and meaningful, the it is a tragedy, and if people say the are happy living otherwise, they are lying or are a child.” Now, I’m not saying he has no good words of advice and wisdom, but he is arguing an unfalsifiable case.
I agree with you, learningisfun. He's right that material wealth and pleasure are too shallow to give life meaning, and he's right that deep family bonds are meaningful, but a life doesn't have to be 100% consumed with one or the other. There can be a balance between the two and don't forget other meaningful pursuits like spirituality, knowledge, creativity, and more.
I am secular (because I can’t choose to believe without being convinced) but my priorities are still similar to the rabbi’s… Family and being a person who contributes positively to those around them is what matters… Living easy (avoiding suffering) and chasing material decadence is vain. I am not nihilistic or degenerate. But it is hard to find a secular partner with values that align with mine and I can’t find common ground with the religious either… Like a lot of people nowadays, I am very lonely and socially disconnected. Religion used to hold communities together, and the secular world hasn’t really found a replacement for the social aspects of it.
I concur greatly with this Rabbi. I am Daniel Ray Waters Hazelton Ortiz and seen many different perspectives and am Christian Buddhist Wiccan Quantum Shaman but this speaks to my compassion to Christina and our difficulties in understanding each other. Well I said let’s sail the world together to her back 1996 at New Market Vocational Skills Center in Tumwater Washington and had two different long journey’s since then and yet to live together in functional way 😢
Thank you, Rabbi. I was blessed with an amazing marriage with an elegant, brilliant, humble man. We didn’t have children due to our age by the time we met. Regardless, our life was rich because we had each other
I'm Muslim and I enjoyed listening to the Rabbi. True that we have plenty of everything today, but our human values are disappearing at a faster pace than at any time before. Values are universal, therefore the disingration of human values affect all of us, regardless of ethnicity, nationality or religion.
Yes. Being close and "Known" by another human being is difficult. The worst tragedy is to "loose" a life was that close. The friend you can sit with for an hour or two or more, not saying a word, and being completely comfortable, at peace, shalom. Amein Sir.
In my time a couple of hours of religion were mandatory. Only in high grade schools You could opt out. In so many years I never had a passionate teacher explaining so clearly the significance of life as a whole. But, dear Rabbi, life not always goes the way You want. Sometimes You do Your best, and love Your wife, ang give her everything You can, with hard work, and she leaves anyway.

Ultimately every single word he says is in total agreement with our faith.
I believe a lot of our lives, whether married or single, children or not, is learning to come to terms with a lot of disappointment.
I had a life of family, a successful career as a teacher, worked for special causes, dealt with all the ups and downs life hands out and now, I just want to be alone with my animals, to work in my garden and help our neighbors when I can. That’s enough for now. I don’t want to deal with any more “difficult” relationships , w problematic family members (who are mostly dead anyway), or with disfunctional people. Many saints lived quiet lives in solitude. I’m no saint but I’m blessed with a life of relative serenity now, with no “family” except the animals and trees. Having people around all the time is draining…I’m happy to be by myself.
I understand your perspective. Sometimes, we just need our space. ❤
As a non jewish married woman nearing 60, I can confirm this man is right. Life has not always been easy, but I am proud to say that me and my husband are still very content with each other, we love our son, and we have one parent left between us and we are very close to him. It is very fulfilling.
It is right for you, not for everyone.

My cousin was very successful professionally, but she had no family. When her mother bragged about her success, my mother told her that she was not a success. She had no husband, no children. Lived in a one bafroom condo in Manhatten. When she finally got married at 48 and with effort, she had a child at 51naturally (what a miracle) she quit that successful career to be a full-time mother and wife. She finally realized what is really important in life
No, she didn't. Everything came in it's own time. She worked hard and now she can afford the luxury of being a full-time mother.
Many older single/unmarried/childless women are more content than married women. They don't have men to abuse them and drag them down. Most men just want temporary relationships-- or they want a house servant and baby making machine at home while they have tons of lovers on the side.
…to her.
All generalisations are false to some noticeable degree, including this one.
So by having a husband and child makes you successful oh right. So how come So many women are depressed then who have that, your mum sounded jealous of her niece's success and maybe because she wasn't happy and fulfilled in life!
@peacefamily212 your comment is nonsensical. The number of single women has never been so high, and that coincides with the highest number of women suffering from depression.
Grown up baby here lol. I'm not religious exactly, but I'm seeking a spiritual path. Like many others in the world, I have a broken traumatic family history and also watched my dad chase women, fast feelings, and the easy life without regard for other people or his family. He's 75 and unhappy, but I feel for him in his lostness. I'm 41, unmarried, and feel like a spiritual baby after listening to this. I want to change my life and engage seriously with the world. I want to do some good before I die and quit chasing things that don't matter. I think I'm going to go see my friend's rabbi in town and ask him how a regular old Joe like me can start living a life of meaning and serving others. Being selfish is no fun lol.

One of the beautiful things about this blessed speech is that it came straight from the heart.
At the age of seventy-two, it has taken me a lifetime to gain the wisdom in Rabbi Yossi's words. His Synagogue is lucky to have him!
didn't know it takes luck to know God and why LUCK is part of religion sounds trickery though needs be. Frustrated with Mark: from Christian to atheist to ignostic and the horror of it all. atheist telling me go read Mark 14 verse 50-51 only making Jesus a pedifile they believe. yet, I believed them frustrating me to atheist. But then I read Mark: 14 verses 45- 57 longer incontext! Jesus prays to God to let this Suffering Pass from him but God did not for the admonishment of dying for all sins has to be completed. the complete suffering of Jesus to truly Die in horror for all Man kind. Shocking and I feel the understanding better now of how Jesus really suffered for us. Jesus later Builds a lake of fire for any one who doesn't believe he suffered at all as the unforgivable sin is not Murder rape steeling lying. but, simply not believing with a Skeptical Brain God made for us to know the difference between a scam or trick. do atheist and the Roman empire know Jesus was Flesh of God knowing he has heaven and hell in the grasp of his own Hands and doesn't really care for us said atheist because they think he doesn't exist or did exist but never had any powers doing strange magical things !!! but,after reading Mark 14: 48-53: I feel Jesus did not know' the suffering coming ahead of him when God seeded in to mary' a Good child growing Man with No Sin'. Jesus asked God in the end of his life suffering Why have you GOD' forsaken me? why' leave me alone as if I am like a suffering animal to just perish and never exist again after all this unfathomable Punishment and wicked sin you put me through . really upsets me now for the Good when mommently Jesus awakens me again for it must have Happened. Jesus wants us to believe him but instead we call him a wicked evil pedifile and never healed any one say again the atheist. I better Now see the suffering Jesus went through as a good normal Man made to do all this wickedness . this really hurts but it tells something No Man would dare knowing the guilt and suffering it would couse them and billions might or would Commit suicide commiting such yet they were still sinners that would take the crushing load off also.. I still feel frustrated why millions of inoccent babies Die each year and never stood a chance to live. maybe because the evil of beng born effected what can not be fixed would destroy the tiny seed of faith? any parts of all meaning yet Why God lets it this way today for generations up on Generations. still contradictions of scriptures are proven. may be because his Best Man still is not full or Saint including the Pope for they are not Jesus. yet the Book sometimes opens our eyes but not often enough but to seem like trickery . this is life in hell and the pain of our hearts minds souls feeling the hell of what Jesus went through is a tad Comparing to his suffering maybe ? Possibly the amount of suffering Jesus went through in 1 day would feel like 2000 years of suffering for man which is not fathomable but the Bible is way to long when all Christians incuding my self only know 20% or less of Scriptures and why .. So many wonderful things Jesus said is inspiring yet a must to asure us!!! but, Anecdotal spiritual proof of this hangs on us for over 2000 years... and Science proving the earth has been here millions and not 8-10,000 years is Frustating. Seems like God just play's with us some times and why he used Job like a yo yo bouncing back and forth for no reason but to prove to a Good Man that God is stronger than Job and could put a good man in fire if God wanted. See so much we don't know because we don't get to know is frustrating in its self.. why Harvard or oxford Students who want to become ministers but, after completing the Bible and Book of Romulus with 2 baby brothers drifting down the river in a basket moses was sopposed to sounds like a practice book? they instead become instant atheist accordingly is very upsetting and frustrating. I can't keep asking and begging for Jesus to give me understanding for life when he leaves me hanging more than any other possible thing he could do with full power . how much suffering does a human need to fathom but can't. when the educated intelligent science knowledgable tells me because it keeps getting smarter and us in to faith that carries nothing but, only a mustard seed that Science Proved is not the smallest seed on earth A-MEN.

You have to work on yourself, single or married. And he’s right that doing marriage right is hard but doing single right is too. This is true because being an adult is hard in both circumstances. You have to work on yourself either way and realize it’s not about me.

You are right. My step ather was boarded out at the age of 9 yo workforce a farmer. His bed was in the barn with the cows. He had a bed closet to sleep in. My father had to quite school in the 4th grade toward at home in the family dairy. My sister in law became a maid at the age of 13. This was in 1920 to 1950.
My God how old are you if this was in 1920 to 1950? you must be up there!! we suffered early familly life praying and still today my mother sisters fallowers of God died of mistakes of correct denominations or of a God who can't give us the correct one whether it be Seventh say Advantist J WITNESS ,Catholic Prodestant or a lot who call them selves nondenominational but still serve a building called something is still a denominational fact.. None of them are the correct one even when so many say they are is impossible. every body's take 20% of scriptures as there choice being contradictions is all it does. this is the way the USA works with uncountable churches with different names of these Denominations. Let the Creator decide how to fallow it when it decides. Knowing very little of a very very long Bible makes it difficult to know in full complete context. half of the denominational preachers ministers only give a small portion reaping it.

Not 'anti-fun'? That might be true, but if you look at all the major religions, they have generally not agreed with that notion, at best believing G-d to approve of very limited sorts of fun and even there telling one when, where, and what attitude to have having it.
Americans aren't rich. Rich people have families. They took that from us in this country. We have money, but we are not rich.
Give me convenience or life. We need to grow up and realize life is a struggle but if you work hard enough you may become rich with wealth and money, but this should not be the reason for living to become better than everyone else.

Randomly stumbled on this page. Speaking as a middle age male, single secular that grew up in a divorced family, the Rabbi makes some resonable points that life isn't about Hedonism. And at least on societal level procreation is important because without that obviously humanity would end Without some company life would also be terribly lonely. If the Rabbi has found someone that he's happy with kudos to him. Thought I would offer my two drachmas from a different perspective because i think the Rabbi has a bit of an oversimplified view of the single life which can vary person to person.
I am a romantic type. I wanted a family. Not having a significant other sometimes lead to bouts of depression Alas it wasn't in the cards for me. I've had mostly long term relationships. The last woman I was with for seven years. It wasn't passionate love like I experienced once with a girl when I was younger but I thought we were both happy. We lived together. We talked about children but were undecided on the matter. We often talked about how important it was to communicate any problems to prevent any resentments from fermenting.. We would do things together. We rarely argued about anything. Then one day she tells me she's going to leave... tomorrow! Never even did me the courtesy to explain why. I got over it quickly. I felt more stupid for showing poor judgement than angry or hurt. I reasoned someone that would do such a thing so abruptly to another person after so much time treating them with dignity and affection wasn't for me.
I have gone on a few dates since then. Although I'll keep trying, it gets harder to meet people you can connect with as you age. it also doesn't help I feel spent emotionally. I've resigned myself to the likelihood I'll probably be single for the rest of my life.
Fortunately despite my relationship failures I still manage to experience mostly happiness. A big part of that is my dog. I think of her as I imagine some couple thinks of their toddlers except with a dog they are toddlers their entire lives. I know one day I will have to face life without her. I'm not sure what will happen then but for today I'm happy. Most of my time still goes to immersing myself in my work, my intellectual interests, and online debate. I also make time to spend with my friends, siblings, and relatives.
It's difficult to judge for certain someone else's inner life since one can't experience someone else's emotions. Nevertheless, at this precise moment in time, I think I'm happier than most people I have known that are in marriages. There are exceptions, but most of the couples I have known over the years are miserable . I get a sense many are together because they fear being alone. And more often than not couples end up in divorce. It's tough to pin down all the reasons, but I would argue one for so many failed relationships.. unrealistic expectations. We are inundated with images of exceptually beautiful, extremely funny, or highly successful individuals in the media. I think this creates a mindset in many that the other person must conform to some standard of near perfection or one is settling for something that would not make one happy. In other words, many look at the other person as a form of entertainment, for themselves.
My dog on the other hand does not provide me wealth. Or intellectual debate. Or sex. Or jokes. Or status. It provides me nothing of utility back. Just it's happiness. A wagging tail and curling by my feet is enough. Knowing my dog is happy, makes me feel great joy. What the experience has taught me is when it comes to happiness what really matters is finding something you feel enough love to nurture.. Where being loved back matters to happiness is in the sense that it's hard to give love to someone else if they don't want your love.
So for those that have not found romantic love, my advice would be find something you can still give your love in other ways. Whether that's in the form of a pet, or mentoring someone else's kids, or keeping the elderly company, or charity work, or whatever. Find a way to express your own love for something else even if you don't get anything back other than a genuine smile or just a wagging tail. There is no greater joy I have ever felt in life than knowing something I love enough to nurture is happy just being around me.
As a single person, I agree. The religious are very family orientated, and that's fine, we need it if the human race is to continue to survive. But to my way of thinking, the most important thing is to work on ourselves, to improve ourselves from the inside out! And for that we need to have relationships with others around us, not just humans but other life forms, and with nature in general, with all of life. This is what brings true meaning to life, improving our relationship to life from within and without. You can call it work, you can call it entertainment, whatever, but it has to have a greater meaning than simply staying alive and "Having Fun". Well, that's just my one cent on the subject!❤
marriage is not suppose to be like "oh you married you happy" marriage is about work! and improve and build it together with a long long time. you can't do it alone and you can't do it with your dog. and yeas cause it's a hard work sometimes it's very hard and you not happy, but that's the whole point. that's the truth of everyone. life didn't meant to be easy anyway. if it's easy, it's boring. and we see it everywhere, many people this day are bored out of their mind and looking for something to do with their life
@@mayaha200
I never suffer from boredom. One positive aspect of being single and in good health is you can pursue your interests without worrying about the effects on someone else's life. And I don't mean vacations and entertainment, I mostly mean intellectual and career pursuits.
I agree with much of what the Rabbi says but there is nothing someone can do if they cant find someone else that has no interest in loving them back. Where I disagree, he's a bit patronizing towards those that are single by treating them as some stereotype.
He also doesn't consider enough how lucky he is to find a wife that wants to be with him. That was not just his decision. It was his wife's too . Had she met someone else first the Rabbi might have ended up with no one. Then he would have been faced with the real world issues being single involves rather than just his theoretical view of being single.
The biggest issue is loneliness which if left unchecked can bring on depression which can be incapacitating. When i used to have bouts of depression it was precisely because I treated finding a romantic companion as everything.
Whether single or in a relationship, happiness to a certain degree is like food. Too much food is bad for us. The pursuit of happiness shouldn't be the sole focus of life but like a good diet it shouldn't be completely ignored either. Without happiness you have real world negative effects of loss of interest in doing anything including work. That serves no one including oneself.
I'm not advising the single life as some ideal. I'm just saying for those that never found a significant other that they don't need to be miserable about it much less bored. As long as someone is reasonably happy, they can still push towards goals.
And at least in my case, I found that happiness not through buying frivolous things or paid entertainment but by just finding ways to express love in different ways.
@@kathy1310 Yup. I read a statistic recently that seculars contribute 6 times more in tax to Israeli coffers than the ultra orthodox. Seculars are usually the ones with the high tech startups that power Israel's economy.
Not saying this is necessarily the Rabbi or applies to everyone religious, but I think some religious sorts greatly undervalue the contributions of seculars.
Being secular doesn't; mean someone is necessarily smarter but it influences how one spends one's time. Einstein was brought up very religious. Had he been studying Torah later in life rather than physics and math it is unlikely we would know his name today.
@mydogsbutler you my friend are so beautiful to me. The girl who left you in my eyes is a fool. And that's all I have to say except that true happiness is unconditional. Wise men say, "There is no way to happiness; HAPPINESS IS THE WAY".
peace and love,
yishmirai

We are very rich living in American capitalist psychopath society, namely most people are living from paycheck to paycheck, with no healthcare, no pensions, and just a paycheck away from being homeless. But we are all rich here. LOL.
Go live in a communist country
Life is about meaning and purpose. About care. If you do marry and have children you will fail in life if you don’t “Care”! But you will also fail if you are the only one doing the caring. People are complex beings. They can make you bitterly unhappy. So loving yourself, doing your best in all you do and having a relationship with God is what brings peace to your soul.
I am Muslim and I totally subscribe to this deep wisdom. In fact, all mystical schools say the same thing. Growth involves pain and taking responsibility.
God Bless you Rabbi, from Ireland
Anything in life worth having is worth working for.
Life is school. Do your best, learn all you can, & be nice to the other kids on the playground. tavi.
That's why we were created the way we are; from our selfishness we are to learn selfless, unconditional love. It is the only way to stay married. It is parenting. Through these divine blessings we learn the scope and burden of the Lord's love for us all and the meaning of Yeshua Ben Yosef's ministry and commandment. "Love one another as I have loved you."
I trust the wisdom of the people who are in touch with their conscience.
I don't know how I came across this video but I have one thing to say.
This is a wise man with a wise message.
Regardless of your religious beliefs, everyone should listen to this.
A very wise man, you are sir. I would give a kiss in your head for this beautiful talk.
No struggle - no life - here to learn and then to teach
Thank you so much for your wise words. This was an affirmation for the ups and downs experienced in my own life- the struggles and losses are a key part of the path to intimacy and finding the divine within ourselves.
I have never married, no children. I avoided responsibilities and obligations. I have freedom, peace, no tragedy, no risk of a child being born blind, deaf or with down syndrome. And I have travelled extensively and worked in many different places doing all sorts of jobs. Marriage simply isnt worth it for me.
Very much agree, peace and freedom are the most important for me as well.
well it worked for you. Is not for everyone
Regardless women and wife should be more than house help, someone with interests and opinions and Dreams.
@@ivanmatusic5540 who care about women dreams
@@Diana-yn2ho yea. Is it wrong?? I still care about good people.
Absolutely Correct. Life is Hard. Having money does not free you from it. Just gives peace of mind you can pay your bills.
Childhood is a disaster for millions of people, all unnecessarily.
We blame them for being useless adult children, rather than fixing the cause - as always.
Fix parenting. Then their children can become adults.
I don’t deny we have a huge problem with parenting. However, lots of us didn’t have good parents and we are still decent humans. I have three very compassionate sisters. I’m amazed sometimes how we turned out when I look at our parents!
the living human life style whether it be a believer or not comes down to a lot of luck.
Listening to a Rabbi for the first time and he is spot on.❤
The main reason I never got married was because I couldn't find a woman who wasn't spoiled rotten.
The men were spoilt rotten in my case, “grown up babies”…
@@marie-joelleraussou Uh huh, sure, yes, of course
This is so true. When there is no G-d in society, people of both sizes become materialistic. Materialistic peoole are unable to focus on each other.
@@CaesarRenasci excellent answer.
I take issue with a lot of this. The concept of wanting to enjoy life through entertainment and having fun is not a symptom of the modern age but has always been part of the human condition. Even and sometimes especially the poor have always let their hair down to escape the daily tortures of their hard hard lives. Im afraid he has a very limited view of what is acceptable as a life well lived. But tbf its religiious content. Be a decent person, dont hurt anyone.and do what brings you joy, sing, paint, travel eat pizza.
The question is if there is nothing left in the after world, if die means really die, if one lose the life means the one will not exist in the universe anymore. And we all know that any human being will die in one day, parents, children, someone we love, someone we hate, some we know, some we don’t know, and of course ourselves, we all will become nothing in one day. Then, why we need to stay in a difficult life rather than enjoy the moment that we have at present?
This is brilliant. Wish everyone could hear it.
If you're sleeping 12 hours a day it means you're depressed and should consult.
Or it means you sleep 12 hours a day.
Not necessarily
It's bad for your brain to sleep more than eight hours. .
Less than 4 hours sleep and more than than 8 has been linked to Alzheimer's
Happieness is securety for your loved ones, and you. And, less to want of anything. And, to be able to rest peacefully far away.
I am an Arab Muslim but what this man is saying is true because we all live this modern lifestyle and know that it cannot be the truth.
I dunno, my parents got divorced, my grandparents got divorced, my parents abandoned me, so did my siblings.... so... What you're saying doesn't make sense.....I just work hard to survive, people aren't so helpful, and Torah is what fulfills me.
Yeshua fulfilled the Torah for us, because we can't fulfill it, even if we want to.
My parents were not good models. They ended up getting divorced as well. I’d like to think that from their lesson(s) or bad example, I was able to find a fulfilling relationship with my husband that didn't resemble the toxic behavior of my parents. Going on 24 years together with our 3 teenagers. And I would like to think, we are advantaged as a family because of the last thing you mentioned… we have Torah in our hands ❤
he said it is hard to form meaningful relationships. Actually, thats the hardest thing in life. So, its to be expected not everybody will achieve it . Your relationships can be a great source of happiness, and also the greatest source of your sorrows, as he himseld implied when he said the people we are most likely to hurt are the closest. The problem is, there is no possible happiness without achieving meaningful relationships. There are surrogates in which we can find some form of consolation, but not real happiness
@@thisisobviouslynotmyrealname A relationship with the One who created you will always be the most important of all. Jesus is my Peace.
He's correct except the part about leisure...most I'd argue spent more time with friends and family prior to industrialization, especially when compared to modern America
People had more free time 150 years ago than today. In many areas of the country people couldn't work during the winter because it was to cold.
Don’t forget when the sun went down. Work for the most part stopped. Even at 5pm.
@@Daniel-z7z1q Good point.
free time that was full of work
This sharing is amazing.... Lots to think about and work... 😢. TQ Rabbi❤
Ethics. For both Plato and Aristotle, as for most ancient ethicists, the central problem of ethics was the achievement of happiness. By “happiness”, they did not mean a pleasant state of mind but rather a good human life, or a life of human flourishing. The means by which happiness was acquired was through virtue. Thus ancient ethicists typically addressed themselves to three related questions: (1) What does a good or flourishing human life consist of?, (2) What virtues are necessary to achieve it?, and (3) How does one acquire those virtues? This leads us to explorations of the nature of various conventional virtues, such as courage, piety, and temperance, as well as more general questions, such as whether virtue can be taught.
''Most of the great problems we face are caused by politicians, bureaucrats, financiers, shysters, elites, bankers, pharma, MIC, big-agri, big-bus, msm, and kindred.....; creating solutions to problems they created in the first place." - Walter E. Williams
I’m not a fan of his argument, which is, “if you are not living a life which he deems responsible and meaningful, the it is a tragedy, and if people say the are happy living otherwise, they are lying or are a child.” Now, I’m not saying he has no good words of advice and wisdom, but he is arguing an unfalsifiable case.
I agree with you, learningisfun. He's right that material wealth and pleasure are too shallow to give life meaning, and he's right that deep family bonds are meaningful, but a life doesn't have to be 100% consumed with one or the other. There can be a balance between the two and don't forget other meaningful pursuits like spirituality, knowledge, creativity, and more.
I am secular (because I can’t choose to believe without being convinced) but my priorities are still similar to the rabbi’s… Family and being a person who contributes positively to those around them is what matters… Living easy (avoiding suffering) and chasing material decadence is vain. I am not nihilistic or degenerate. But it is hard to find a secular partner with values that align with mine and I can’t find common ground with the religious either… Like a lot of people nowadays, I am very lonely and socially disconnected. Religion used to hold communities together, and the secular world hasn’t really found a replacement for the social aspects of it.
With his first sentence he sets himself up above everyone else.
I concur greatly with this Rabbi. I am Daniel Ray Waters Hazelton Ortiz and seen many different perspectives and am Christian Buddhist Wiccan Quantum Shaman but this speaks to my compassion to Christina and our difficulties in understanding each other. Well I said let’s sail the world together to her back 1996 at New Market Vocational Skills Center in Tumwater Washington and had two different long journey’s since then and yet to live together in functional way 😢
He is right.. .. people were poor because they were oppressed by the very rich...
You confuse Judaism with Marxism,my friend.
Thank you, Rabbi. I was blessed with an amazing marriage with an elegant, brilliant, humble man. We didn’t have children due to our age by the time we met. Regardless, our life was rich because we had each other
it is a pure Truth!
Would like to see this guy one year after he won 10 Million in the Lottery.
And maybe debating Dawkins.
This man has some deep wisdom to share. V grateful to hear it
I'm Muslim and I enjoyed listening to the Rabbi. True that we have plenty of everything today, but our human values are disappearing at a faster pace than at any time before. Values are universal, therefore the disingration of human values affect all of us, regardless of ethnicity, nationality or religion.
Facts. The ones who take this to heart will lead more fulfilling lives. Thank you Rabbi.
If the omnicience allows the Algorithims to do there part.
Wonderful advice. Much need advice. Unfortunately also much ignored.
When we have a algorithim so untouchable even by omnicient power. its going to very well be ignored because did they ever know, he spoke.
Yes. Being close and "Known" by another human being is difficult. The worst tragedy is to "loose" a life was that close. The friend you can sit with for an hour or two or more, not saying a word, and being completely comfortable, at peace, shalom. Amein Sir.
In my time a couple of hours of religion were mandatory. Only in high grade schools You could opt out. In so many years I never had a passionate teacher explaining so clearly the significance of life as a whole. But, dear Rabbi, life not always goes the way You want. Sometimes You do Your best, and love Your wife, ang give her everything You can, with hard work, and she leaves anyway.
Trying to keep a wife is very different from loving your wife.

I saw a podcast clip with a woman who studies relationships. And she said that the main predictor of long relationship is growth mindset of both individuals. Which also goes in line with rabbi’s words.
I think the only way to learn this is by discovering it over many years. They young are too often blind to the wisdom of those with years of age on their side.
