AVOIDING ARGUMENTS

[107a middle] Shmuel defends Rav even though argues with him.

D-E-ep Thoughts: Machlokes (disagreement) in Torah is not about personal gain. We should all be looking for absolute Emes (truth) and many times this involves putting down our own egos. If we can help strengthen other opinions, we should look to help, even when we may have originally been on an opposing side.

Today’s P.I.P. (Put Into Practice) TIP: Bring absolute humility into the forefront today. Experiment with the opportunity of obtaining a ‘ZERO argument day.’ Especially when we know we are right, we have the greatest chances to grow by not releasing confrontation (and swallowing self pride).
