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, all you happy warriors.

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

Thanks for being part of the show, and thank you so much for helping to tell other people about the show.

You didn't absolutely bang up job on that because our numbers just keep rising and rising,

which fills me with delight and enthusiasm and propels me to higher efforts. And at the same time,

it makes it possible to do more on the show as well. So I very much appreciate all of that.

And of course, when I think of you all as happy warriors,

it doesn't mean that I believe you're all walking around

with inane grins on your faces

and clown hats on your head

and jumping up and down in demonstrations of being happy.

No, when I think of you as happy warriors, I'm fully aware that much of the time you are fighting.

You are warriors.

You're dealing with the realities of making a living. You're dealing

with realities of family relationships. You're dealing with the realities of faith matters.

You're dealing with challenges on many different areas that I can only but think of. And in spite of that all, you are filled with a

deep sense of happiness. I'm not going to say contentment because contentment is what you find

in that admirable creature, the cow, in a sunny, grassy meadow on a fine day.

And the cow can safely be said to be content.

I don't think we human beings ever want to be content, but we do want to be happy.
