    I get these daily inspirational quotes from Rabbi Avigdor Miller through “Career of Happiness” center.

    Please enjoy the message.

    This is the vital area of our lives, and therefore we must ceaselessly be mindful of the opinion of the walls and Mezuzos of our home: will they testify for us or against us? (From Awake, My Glory)

    Growth with Action: The spiritual form of your house and of all that transpired within it continues to exist forever. Choose one room (or one piece of furniture). Designate it as a secret reminder that in its presence you must exercise special control over what you say.

    I have no doubt that every particle of air that I breathed, every molecule that I touched, every cubic centimeter of space that I ever inhabit and every person, animal and plant that I interact with will all condemn me with shrill, cacophonous accusations. It matters not whether I thought I was doing right or wrong… nothing is lost and they will all speak against me to their Creator after my lifetime.

    Wolf, why are you so cheery?

    Simply applying the lesson presented in the OP to my life.

    One Chashuv rosh yeshiva told me “we all do millions of averios and chazal say there’s an onesh for each one”

    mos yumos, while that may be true, let’s look at it the other way. We all do millions of mitzvos, and we get rewarded for each one.

    And in general, why focus on the negative and make everyone miserable? Even in the OP’s post, the entire thing can be said with the focus on the positive instead of the negative. Which would mean that the walls, doors, and windows of our houses, workplaces, etc. all testify for us about the wonderful things we did, even while no one was around! It would actually give us an incentive to do mitzvos and chessed without needing it to be recognized or seen by anyone.

    I too am really freaked out by the above message. I know I need to do teshuva. But I think as far as The Wolf’s message is concerned is that the most spectacular part of it was his impeccable English. Because the fact remains as he said, that we will be held accountable and that does not mean being pessimistic. And thats a frightening reality.

    But I think as far as The Wolf’s message

    My message was concerning me and me alone. I did not mean to imply that what I said has any application to any other person living or dead.

    Oh Wolf, But it does!!! I love to hear your voice and value your opinion, Please don’t derive something otherwise from my statement. What I meant to get across was the fact that what you said is true. FOR ALL OF US

    But you in your humble self ways are implying mussar should be self applied.
