Each Person Is Another Messenger

Believe with perfect emuna that each person is a messenger from Hashem. If all the people of the world wished you harm or good, and Hashem desired otherwise, His will would be fulfilled. It is therefore unnecessary to flatter, favor, or fear anyone. It is also futile to use dishonest means to make money. Hashem will provide for each person as He sees fit.
