Ethics: Aversion to Honor (6.6.35)

From Rabbi Yaakov Wolbe Podcast Collection TORCH

Honor is a funny thing. It yields no tangible, discernible, sensory benefit to the recipient, yet it is so highly coveted and desired. We all want respect. We all want others to look up to us and to admire us. Our standing in the eyes of others matters greatly to us. In way to wisdom number 35, we discover how potentially dangerous it is to care about what others think. We are advised to distance ourselves from honor.
