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.

It is time for the weekly gathering of the happy warriors.

So welcome to the Rabbi Daniel Lapin show, where I,

your rabbi, reveal how the world really works. That's right. So thank you for being part of the show. Thanks for listening.

And those of you who've been helping to tell other folks about it and bring aboard more new

happy warriors, well, you've been doing a great job and I thank you very, very much indeed.

Have you ever heard the question? Look, do you

work to live or do you live to work? And usually there's two things that we know about the

person asking you. Number one, that person is trying to distract you. They've got some sort of agenda.

Number two, they're probably broke. That's right. Because invariably, what they're trying to tell you is that you're working too hard and they're saying,

hey, be like me. That's right. Broke. That's what they're suggesting. And so when people say,

hey, come on, do you work to live or do you live to work? What they're hoping that you're

going to respond is to say, no, of course, I work in order to

live. But you see, it's a bit of a silly question. It's a little bit like saying, hey, do you eat to

survive or do you survive to eat? Well, I don't only

eat to survive because if I did, then I would just eat, you know, vitamins and some bread and

water or I'd gobble down a couple of cans that I'd quickly open.

But I certainly wouldn't sit down to a meal and I wouldn't enjoy it anymore

if it is served on a nice starched white tablecloth and it's served up on beautiful China plates

and the food is laid out in attractive ways. All of these

things, let alone the company at a meal, all of these things add immeasurably to my enjoyment
