בבא בתרא צד

A visitor who had come to speak with the author David Frischman, babbled on and on and was preventing Frischman from doing his work. Frischman didn’t know how to get rid of him. Finally, he said: “In my opinion, words are just a way of covering up lies that one has in his heart.
For example, when people say להתראות as they part from one another, do they really mean it? They say להתראות, but in their hearts they say to themselves ‘I hope I don’t see you again for a very long time.’” Frischman then rose from his seat, stretched out his hand to the visitor and said: “להתראות.”
