In the nine days it's a mitzva to be blue.

But in Shana Rishona it's a mitzva to make your wife happy.

So i guess you can eat them but she can't.

It is not a mitzvah to be blue. ...one should merely be "mema'et b'simchah."

the other day i was shopping in with my 2-yr-old son. i don't go there often and i was looking at this gadget and that electronic gizmo and taking in all the items. while i was trying to look at things my son only wanted to take the paper circular which was rolled up and blow with it at my face and would rollick with laughter if i blew back at him.

got me thinking how it's like this world. so many gadgets and gizmos blinking and buzzing and all Hashem wants is some face-time with us, more than anything else.

Yep!

Stress and discontent (among other things) are what drive us to seek out our preferred drug, be it porn or mastubation or whatnot. when those little voices go off in my head saying, "oh, poor me, i did/did not get this or the other thing and i really need it, the wife/boss/friend made a funny-face at me/insulted me, i have too little money/time/kids/cars/houses/ears whatever... why not go for some relaxation and get some much deserved pleasure..."

that is the voice of addiction, the voice of the yetzer hara, whatever you prefer to call it.

trying to sell me a medication that guarantees that i will never finish the prescription, with life-long refills.

lusting will not make me happy, relaxed or feel accomplished. it will destroy my spark of life and turn me into a shell. a spent shell. it will destroy my connection to Hashem, my wife, my kids, my friends and last but not least, to GYE .

so if i feel stressed, i at least am aware of the fact and know that i need to keep safe and not vent by taking poison. some may prefer kickboxing. some may prefer jogging, origami, or making some new cholint recipe.

Zemmy's quotes need no introduction, nor do they need any explainin':

I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy.
~ Rabindranath Tagore

lotta wisdom in there...
i often think if i'll have that gadget, car, house, experience, etc., THEN i'll really be happy. never works.
the only true lasting happiness is when we do the right thing and work towards our goal.

"One who is laboring to achieve, to build, and is aware that the result is taking shape as it should cannot be depressed no matter how hard the work." (Rabbi Akiva Tatz, The Thinking Jewish Teenagers Guide to Life)
