oh, i see, so they’re supposed to walk around in rags, drive jalopies, and live in trailers. i see. there is a difference between buying expensive clothes and flaunting and if you can’t tell teh difference its because you dont wnat to, not because you are incapable. it IS a gift from hashem and they DO have responsibilities. who do you think it is every yeshiva turns to when they can’t pay the mortgage? who do you think it is that has lines around teh block of people from all over the world asking them for tzedakah? who do you think it is that pays for the hundreds of kollelim that every lakewood bochurs sits in for the rest of his life?
that’s right. the wealthy. as long as they keep their end of the “bargain” so to speak, why not let them dress in higher quality clothes? why not let them drive fancy cars? why not let them live in a beautiful house? you cant have your cake and eat it too.
its teh same mishegass with the weddings. rebbes having to make kol korehs telling people not to buy diamonds for their wives, using one man bands and limiting the cost of teh hall…its beause people get jealous and want what they cant have, get over it! be happy with what you have! quit worrying about what the wealthy do!
why must everyone be the same? should there be, according to you, a universal standard which must not be violated by anyone no matter of monetary status? please. that’s ridiculous and you know it. “ezehu ashir hasomeach b’chelko” learn it. live it.
