Life is a popularity contest?



Hi,

"Rabbi Chanina ben Dosa was wont to say: If people are pleased with a certain person, that is a sign that Gd is pleased with that person, too."

(Pirkei Avot 3:10)

Have a great day,
Mordechai

    the pirush is not that he is popular, but that he is nice to other people, and people are pleased by his good middos,

    Tosafos Yom Tov and Rav Ovadia miBartenura seem to view it in the opposite direction - popularity here is a product of HaShem's favour.
