HEAVEN-BOUND

[72a top] R’ Meir quoted the verse, “It is better to go to a house of mourning than to go to a house of feasting.”
Ritva: This is to remind us that life is finite, our time here is short, and life is not just about one big party.

D-E-ep Thoughts: All too often, we get swept away in the hectic waves and tumultuous rapids of life. When we get sucked in by happiness and pleasures, we can (G-d forbid) lose sight of our destination. By giving ourselves regular reminders of the limited time we have to spend and accomplish in this world, we will be better able to steer straight on our proper course.
