R.E.Y.Hertzman zt"l
said,*
Every person born will die
but nobody
thinks it will ever happen to
him.
Only one** person wins
the lottery
and everybody thinks it will
happen to him.
*שמעתי מר' ישראל מאיר
מאיראוויטץ שליט"א בשם בנו
** In his days there were
no computerized tickets yet.
I heard in the name of the Chofetz Chaim, that people think there is a 'chevra shtarber', a group of people who die, but they think that they are not part of that chevra.
ReplyDeleteI think that is the same idea as what you wrote above bisheim R. Herzman z"l.
