EQUALLY EXCHANGEABLE
[46b bottom] Reish Lakish: All movables acquire one another, even a purse full of coins exchanged for another purse full of coins.
Prac-T-cal Tidbits: We should have the ability to recognize that since all objects are created from Hashem, they are virtually ‘equal’ and ‘exchangeable.’ Items may be more valued in our eyes (based on societal influences), but that is not their actual real ‘inherent’ worths. We should be happy and content with whatever we are blessed with; as Pirkei Avos teaches: Who is rich? One who is truly happy with what he has.
