Everybody is holding on their level. When they are disturbing you personally, that's one thing, but if they just aren't feeling it, that's between them and the big one upstairs.

Hence it's a pet peeve of mine  ;D
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

Therein might be the culprit, feeling/thinking that Hashem is "upstairs" rather than right here!
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Besides that such a mindset is antithetical to Judaism.

That's besides the point. We know ה dwells in the heaven while "his" presence is here on earth as well. It's all just a figure of speech. My point stands regardless of how you put it. You don't know what the person is feeling, or what they can handle. This may be a step better than where they were yesterday. Everybody has their struggles, and unless it's directly effecting you, or you think you can help, let them manage their own struggles.
Memories last forever, make them while you can.

End rant.
This is one rant that should never end. Rav Wosner ZT"L used to say that the terrible machla would halt completely if we were to keep kedushas BHM"D.

Which famous and mainstream yeshivos do, or are able to, instill hergesh or love for tefilah?
I once heard a speech from R Wachsman shlita about the great difference between davening and learning. He went into it in much more depth, but the revolving point was that Hashem created the Torah כי הם חיינו. This means that the Torah carries a life of its own. It brings itself to life, thereby lifting the learner with it. Davening, on the other hand, was not designed this way. In other words, it is up to the one davening to bring the words and meanings to life on his or her own. This is a (1) very daunting task for most; (2) very exhausting and tiring task for most; and/or, (3) task that people don't realize that this is part of what it takes to daven, so they just give up when it gets too difficult.

Therein lies the problem. Their rebbeim in the "mainstream" yeshivos feel frustration rather than rachmonus.
If you don't care why would you comment?

People who sit on their phones the entire time in shul during tefilla. Seriously, why bother even coming?
Is this you?

Airfare "deals" to TLV in cattle class with no human class deal.
(Especially when family members living in Israel post about them on family whatsapp, not realizing that at least half of the Americans on the group are only interested in business class deals).

+1 Although in this particular case, I'd say outside of here, most people want deals on economy fares, not J.

True.

No beef with DDMS over this. Probably caters to a much bigger crowd with cattle class deals.

My peeve is with the airlines that don't give some reprieve for those of us that have outgrown cattle class.

Trump inhaling through his nose, into the microphone during his speeches.
