Happy Dreams
What’s the secret to happiness?
Would you like me to tell you?
I mean the real secret, not some paltry aphorism.
And not some rabbi’s opinion.
The real, bona fide secret.
If you’re interested, how interested are you?
We show our interest in things by assigning them value.
How much would you be willing to pay for the real secret of happiness?
Would you be willing to pay $1? (I hope so!)
How about $100? (Probably, right?)
How about $1,000? (“Wait a minute, that’s real money!”)
What if we throw in a money-back guarantee – if you try the secret and it doesn’t work, you lose nothing. But if works, you have to pay. How much would you be willing to spend?
We’re talking real happiness here, the real McCoy.
The happiness itself is free, but the secret is going to cost you. Before I tell it to you, I want to know how much you value it. Really.
If you are interested in learning the secret, send me your bid by December 19, to secret (at) jsli.org.
The 20 highest bidders will be invited to join an invitation-only conference-call seminar on the first night of Hannuka: “Hannuka and the Secret of the Darkness”.
All bids that meet the reserve will receive a recording of last year’s Hannuka class: “Hannuka and the Secret of the 36”.
(PS – This is a silent Chinese auction - we'll let you know if you are outbid. We’re talking about a charitable, tax-deductible donation to a worthy educational cause).
You say you value happiness – put your money where your mouth is.
In the meantime, here’s a thought and a question for your table:
We all hope for happier times. Some of us even dream of happier times. What is your happiest dream?
Shabbat Shalom
