IMMEDIATE GRATIFICATION

[100b middle] R’ Kahana waited to sell the beer of an orphan. Even though its quality would get diminished, at the later time, the beer’s value would be greater (and the orphan would benefit even more from its sale).

D-E-ep Thoughts: We should never ‘spend’ impulsively. It is important to take future considerations into account with every action we do. Just as money may accumulate interest in a bank, many of our deeds may be tastier if we let foods marinate. May all our actions and non-actions get better with time, just like fine wine.
