more Kohelet, Ecclesiastes


Kohelet 5, 12
"Ra'ah cholah" sickening evil...hoarded riches
If the purpose ofwork is just to make money, not permanent, ups and downs, cycles, brings evils
13 like the stock market, losing what you don't have, then nothing to give
Bereishit 1, 11-12 sin of the land
G-d commanded that the entire fruit tree be edible, but the land made it that only the fruit is edible. Problem when people are only interested in the results, not the process.
PROCESS MOST IMPORTANT
Yuppies, money for pleasure, fleeting, since it disappears.
We're not against richness, if it's based on "musar" morality and goodness for others. Must use it for others.

finish later
