Is the world a place of survival of the fittest, fighting for scarce resources, or Divine abundance where everyone can thrive?

These opposing perspectives are at the heart of how we relate to others. Do we see people as competitors whose success comes at our expense, or as partners in creating something greater together?

In this teaching on Parshat Re'eh, Chief Rabbi Dr Warren Goldstein explores a Mishnah that reveals four character types, and how they shape the way we see others.

Are people our competitors for limited resources, or partners in Divine abundance? The Torah's approach to giving, competition, and relationships flows from a deeper question: do we live with a mindset of scarcity or of abundance?

Chief Rabbi Dr Warren Goldstein unpacks why the highest character trait is wanting others to thrive — and how that reflects Hashem's own way of giving.

Key insights:

- The four character types around "mine" and "yours"

- Why scarcity thinking drains the soul

- How abundance transforms relationships

- The deep link between giving and divine character

- Why wanting others to succeed lifts everyone
