being the simpleton You wrote that the simpleton held on through hard times…. yet that is your own outlook. In the story, it is clear that despite how everyone else saw him, the Simpleton himself never once thought or dwelled upon the fact that he was going through hard times. That's the Simpleton: He doesn't dwell…. Our challenge is not to think "how can I remain simple in these times?" our challenge is not to differentiate between "the times" at all. Not easy, because the reward in both worlds is so great.

Tears to my eyes You've moved me with this article, Rivka. While I've always appreciated your honesty and ability to take a real look at yourself despite the fact that the EI would rather you not, this one takes the cake. While you may not have Internet at home, B"H you have a computer!
