The disciples returned with differing replies. <b>Rabbi Eliezer says:</b> Viewing all things with a <b>good eye</b>—showing generosity and joy for others. <b>Rabbi Yehoshua says: Being a good friend</b>, offering aid and counsel to people. <b>Rabbi Yosei says: Being a good neighbor</b>, bringing wholesome influence upon your environs. <b>Rabbi Shimon says: Seeing</b> and foreseeing the <b>results</b> of occurrences and deeds before they come to pass.<sup>1</sup> <b>Rabbi Elazar says: Possessing a good heart</b>—cherishing kind and favorable sentiments toward others. Rabban Yochanan ben Zakkai then <b>spoke unto them: I favor</b> Elazar ben Arach's words over those of the rest of you, since his teaching—cherishing kind and favorable sentiments toward others—<b>encompasses</b> every remaining worthy trait that <b>you named</b>, for it gives rise to them. <b>He likewise spoke unto them: Go forth and observe which course is the evil path from which a person must remain distant. Rabbi Eliezer says:</b> Viewing all things with a <b>bad eye</b>—showing miserliness and envy of others. <b>Rabbi Yehoshua says: Proving an unworthy friend. Rabbi Yosei says: Proving an unworthy neighbor. Rabbi Shimon says:</b> Being one who fails to grasp that he will lack the means to repay a debt, and thus <b>he takes loans and fails to repay.</b> One who <b>takes a loan from a person</b> and fails to restore it is <b>akin to</b> one <b>taking a loan from God. As it says</b> in Psalms: <b>A wicked man takes a loan and fails to repay, yet God, Who is righteous, deals kindly and restores</b> the creditor his funds. Now the debtor stands indebted to God. <b>Rabbi Elazar says: Possessing a bad heart</b>—adverse sentiments toward others.
