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.

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.

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

October 26, 2011 3:25 pm at 3:25 pm #821299mos yumosMemberOne Chashuv rosh yeshiva told me “we all do millions of averios and chazal say there’s an onesh for each one”
October 26, 2011 4:13 pm at 4:13 pm #821300MiddlePathParticipantmos 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.

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.
October 27, 2011 3:43 am at 3:43 am #821302WolfishMusingsParticipantBut 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.

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