Livelihood



Rabbi Meir of Premishlan was approached by a man complaining bitterly that a competitor was ruining his livelihood. Rabbi Meir said "Did you ever see a horse drinking water from a river? It keeps stamping its hooves. Why does he do this? Because he sees his reflection in the water and thinks it's another horse. He's afraid that there won't be enough water for two! But we know that the river can quench the thirst of any number of horses. So G-d provided sufficient sustenance for all people!"
