Everyone Has an Appointed Place

A teaching ofSimeon ben Azzaiשמעון בן עזאי

Ben Azzai taught that each person is known by his own name, is seen in the place where he belongs, and receives what is his. No man touches what is destined for his fellow, and no government presses even a hair's breadth upon the time set for another. A person need not envy another, for what is meant for him will find him.
