## Another explanation for this is that learning Torah is all encompassing and really one should learn all of the time. If one wouldn't interrupt learning in order to do other mitzvot, one would never get a chance to do any mitzvot which Hashem commanded.<ref>Chida in Chaim Shaal 1:71:2, Gra in Sadeh Eliyahu Peah 1:1</ref> | ## Another explanation for this is that learning Torah is all encompassing and really one should learn all of the time.

# It is better to give up a mitzvah so others can do it rather than fight over it.<ref>Yoma 39a, Binyamin Zeev 163, Darkei Moshe 53:11, Magen Avraham 53:26, Mishna Brurah 53:66. Machasit Hashekel 53:26 based on Rashi and Tosfot Yeshanim learns that only if one stands to lose out on a partial mitzvah one shouldn’t get involved with something that could lead to a fight. But if he is going to lose out on a real mitzvah he shouldn’t get involved if it is definitely going to cause a fight. The Mishna Brurah understands the gemara to mean even if you’re going to lose a real mitzvah it is worth it not to fight.</ref> | |||
# It is worth fighting to be able to do a mitzvah if otherwise no one will do the mitzvah.<ref>Mishna Brurah 53:66</ref> | |||
