chesedname,
many people, including myself, keep on pointing out that riches could be hasameach bchelko and u keep on saying that it is literally riches, a promise like that is riches for sure etc. but 1st of all, chazal wasn’t making a suggestion that its nice if you are happy with your possessions than you are rich, rather, they equated the two- there are NO OTHER riches aside from being happy with what u have, no matter how u look at it.
2nd, the whole gemara of tiaser bishvil shetisaser is a peleh, because the same chazal who learnt that gemara, taught us that a HUMAN who has 100 wants 200, so how could you be rich ad bli dai which, btw, the gemara says means your lips will be tired from saying “enough” (has your mouth been hurting lately?) i think that it is muchach from there exactly farkert to what you were saying, that the gemara must mean money,it is obviously talking about being sameach bchelko, then when you are sameach bchelko you will really see the reality, that hashem has given you so much more than you deserve, and even though i dont know who you are, i believe that anybody in our dor (aside from the leading gedolim and the lamid vuv, neither of which i think would be chatting in the ywn cr) has done enough to thank hakadosh baruch hu for what they have, try to make a list of everything good you have, then, i dont’t know, maybe you can find someplace online that rates your income in a certain percentile, be thankful that you are no lower, and keep moving up in your emunah.
as a last proof, i don’t see anyone of our gedolei hador living in beautiful hundred million dollar mansions even though i think they gave at least the required masser and i believe (even though i don’t know them that well unfortunately) that they are all happy with what they have, maybe they feel bad for everyone else in klal yisroel but they are perfectly content with their own wealth
i dont know if this will be my last time posting b4 shabbos but if it is:
a gut shabbos, and chesedname, don’t worry 2 much about becoming richer and richer by the day, because your whole life is in the hands of the Melech Malchei Hamlichim and every step u take is guided by Him so i dont think he will let down a faithful son (which i’m sure u r) just keep your bitachon in him that everything he does is for your good and try to enjoy life a little once you have such a caring and loving father
