And now, the Rabbi Daniel Lapin Show.

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, happy warriors, to another episode of the Rabbi Daniel Lapin Show,

where I, your rabbi, reveal how the world really works.

Great to be together with you and thank you to all of you who participate. Thank you for

those who write in and who comment on the podcast. Some of you send me information, some of you send

ideas for future podcasts. Much appreciated. Thank you very much indeed. Makes me feel very close to you. And before I continue,

I should tell you that right outside where I enjoy taping the podcast, there is major construction

going on. I am actually looking right now, not at one, not at two, but at three massive

diesel hydraulic earth excavators. These are those massive machines with colossal buckets

at the end of monumentally huge arms and those buckets in one scoop

you know gather multiple cubic yards of dirt and they're busy excavating right

now and I've given up on trying to block out that noise completely so you may hear bits of it in the background

and I suggest you develop the attitude towards it that I do.

Remember I've told you before that Scott Fitzgerald put this basic idea very beautifully in one of his essays

and that is he said the mark of a good mind is the ability

to hold two conflicting ideas at the same time and to continue to be able to function.

And so at exactly the same time, you know, I can love my child and at the same time be frustrated that my child is making serious mistakes.

At one and the same time, I actually love the construction going on.

First of all, I love how these guys, these guys who work on the construction site, they're absolute professionals.
