Therefore, the pure righteous do not complain of the dark, but increase the light; they do not complain of evil, but increase justice; they do not complain of heresy, but increase faith; they do not complain of ignorance, but increase wisdom. - Rav Kook

Brain teaser...
A glorious "no prize" for anyone who can come up with the solution to this riddle:
How is it possible to speak for a minute straight without ever using the letter "A"?
I fail to see the challenge. The majority of the world does it all the time. Just speak a Chinese language, or Hindi or any of its chidren, Arabic, Hebrew (thrown in for loyalty, not population), Korean, Japanese...
Count.
ReplyDeleteOne, Two, Three...
Unless you can reach one thousand within sixty seconds...
Most wouldn't even get to one hundred and one before a minute...
ReplyDeleteI don't know if that's the answer you were looking for, but there you have it.
ReplyDeleteOne can talk for (at least) a minute straight without using an A.
