The Yetzer Hara's Limited Vision | Rabbi Yaakov Asher Sinclair

0:00You can't beat the 8th Sahara, he's too strong for you, he's a malach, he's relentless, he doesn't need to eat, he doesn't need to sleep, he's absolutely focused, he never takes a coffee break and he's only got one thing on his mind, you, sounds invincible, right? Well, he is, almost, but he's got one weakness, the 8th Sahara can only speak in one tense, the present, the 8th Sahara only works in the present, now true, he also understands the past tense, he'll make you feel yayush, despair about something that you didn't the past to stop you doing chuva, but if you think about it, he's still working on you in the present to stop you doing chuva right now, in the present, the 8th Sahara doesn't understand the future tense, meaning he won't bother to incite you to look at something inappropriate next Tuesday

1:03afternoon, he can't think that far ahead, but you can, it's interesting that it doesn't say anywhere that the 8th Sahara is a malach, because he isn't, the 8th Sahara is your Seychelles, every morning before you put a foot out of the door, think to yourself, wherever I need to go today, can I find another route, a better route, a safer route, maybe I don't need to go to that particular grocery store where I know I had a problem with Stucklers before, let me think about my day and see where the 8th Sahara could jump out at me, because I can see him coming, but he can't see me.
