DROPS OF HAPPINESS JEWISH

Mi-she-be-nikhnas Adar marbim simkhà - Since the month of Adar begins we must increase their joy ( Ta'anit 29th)
But what
joy? The sefer Orkhot Zaddikim * (Sha'ar ha- simkha ) lists the four ingredients necessary to be happy: EMUNI (faith in Gd), bitakhon (trust in Gd), histapkut (content) and sekhel (intellect).

dwell on the third ingredient: content. If we feel that we are not lacking anything we are not only happy, but given that our glass is, so to speak, always full, even we share what we have with others.

comparable to other and evaluate what we have in relative terms is a bad habit, in that it is an obstacle that prevents us from attaining happiness we seek. But it is also a source of friction in any relationship, be it between husband and wife, relatives or business associates.

The Talmud teaches us: "I she'iesh beiadò Roze mataim mana", or "who has a hundred wants two hundred of something." First try to understand the sentence. The person who has a hundred wants another hundred for a total of two hundred or two hundred other wishes for a total of three hundred?

be answered by another passage of the Talmud: "ein adam met vechatzi ta'avotò be-iadò " or "when one dies has not gotten half of the material goods that wanted. "So who has a hundred wants two hundred others, because if you just want another hundred, would have gained at least half of what he wanted.

The Talmud tells an interesting story. When Alexander was about to conquer the world, he found the gates of Gan Eden. He pleaded to go, but he was not granted. He asked that he be given at least a fraction of Gan Eden. Suddenly one eye fell from the sky and stood at his feet. None of his advisors was able to explain the strange event.

Alexander asked for explanations from some Jewish sages who made him carry a balance, a grain of wheat and a bag of gold coins. They put the eye on the scales and the grain of wheat on the other and it turned out that the grain of wheat was heavier. Replaced the grain of wheat with a bag of gold coins and this time the eye was more heavy. And even if they added another sack and another sack yet, the eye was always heavier.

Unable to understand, Alexander asked explanation. And the wise men explained: "The Gan Eden was trying to tell you something. If your eyes looking more and more, will never be satisfied, even if they received all the money in the world and even more. Alexander, you'll never be satisfied with your achievements. The Gan Eden is reserved for those who are happy with what they have. " (Tamid 32nd )
