The more the world changes, the more we find comfort in the things that never change.

This is Rabbi Daniel Lapin on demand.

On the Blaze Radio Network.

Welcome, oh happy warrior, to the Rabbi Daniel Lapin show, where I, your rabbi, reveal how the world really works.

Does it irritate you when I say really works? I hope not. But one D.L. wrote and said that it does bother when I do that.

D.L. You know what that means, right?

Dear listener, one dear listener, one D.L.

Said that my really works bothered her somehow.

So I should stop doing it repeatedly.

But surely not.

I mean, of all the many ways in which I offend people, I would have thought that

really works is probably among the least offensive things that I say, talking of which. Happy Warriors? Yeah. Here's an interesting

angle on it, I think. Think about this and maybe you'd even want to stop the play at this point

and give yourself two or three or four minutes to

actually think about it, maybe even write down an answer. What is the measure of human greatness?

When we say, he's a great man, you know, that's a really great woman. What do we really mean by

that? Have you thought about that? Um, you know,

does it mean they're huge, they weigh 300 pounds? No, obviously not. We say a great human being.

No, we do not mean a great in terms of physical size. What do we mean? Somebody who's very

famous, is that, could that be a great human being? Well, I suppose it depends what they're famous for, right? But fame surely is not synonymous with greatness. So what is it? What is great? And I will tell you that the accurate and honest measurement of greatness in a person has nothing to do with the external. It's not what people think. It's not the outside things he's done or she has done. It's certainly not the

acclaim in which the public holds them. You're right? Being a celebrity isn't the same as being

great, not at all, far from it. So what what does being great really mean? What do we mean when we say somebody is a great person?
