The value of a zero

 

 

Zeros, their funny things.

 

In one sense people would do anything to get a few of them in their bank accounts.

 

Now is a zero valuable?

 

The only reason people like zeros is because a. it buys them serenity (not to worry about bills) and b. it buys them in our corrupted society prestige (“he’s a millionaire.”)

 

So the value of a zero certainly should come into place when it comes to serenity, for serenity is a good thing, for it allows us to love, to grow, as the Talmud states, the beginning of problems in a marriage is when there is a lack of zeros, or just one zero.

 

However, if the goal of the zeros is to become known as a millionaire than you are just one big zero.

 

As the Baal Shem Tov states, wherever mans heart is, there is the man.

 

As the story where the Baal Shem Tov once showed his holy Tzaddikim (righteous disciples) a vision how heaven saw a man enjoying his meat on the Shabbat, “they saw an ox with a Shtriemel (Jewish hat worn by men in those times specially on Shabbos) eating.”

 

So if our heart is into money then we may as well be a zero.
