You know, after I sent that last post, I thought over this issue and I almost cried.
Here we are a week before Rosh haShana, we are all looking for merits to add to our account.
Think about it. A yid walks out of his house to walk to Mariv, and there is someone sitting in his car in this persons driveway.
You now have two choices,
1) please leave my property now.
2) ah! Look at that! I just got an easy mitzvah !
I don’t need my driveway now anyway. And here someone is getting a benefit from it. Another merit to take with me into Rosh hashana!
And.we know hashem counts our good thoughts as actions.
So by even thinking that this is what I would do (obviously if you mean it) you can get who knows what kind of boost going into Rosh hashana
And instead we hear people standing on ceremony. It’s mine! Get off!
What a tremendous loss of opportunity!!!
