Don’t let people pressure you or feel pressure about what they do or have that you don’t have or do and you can feel good about yourself that you can hold yourself in from buying those fancy things or going to those expensive places
I was feeling pressured to have to buy things that are cheaper than I can afford because others weren’t buying them. I’m off now to get my corvette. Maybe I’ll sell you my mustang cheap. Thanks!
By Kabolas Hatorah we were pressured to accept the Torah. It is known that we have the right intentions but the yetzer hara holds us back from bringing it to fruition. The Tiferes Yisrael on Perkei Avos (4,2) interprets our davenen והסר שטן מלפנינו ומאחרינו, when we want to do a mitzva, the yetzer hara stands in front of us but by an aveira, he stands behind us.
