My travel plans for  14 – 15:
 
I have been in many places, but I've never been in Cahoots. Apparently, you can't go alone. You have to be in Cahoots with someone. I've also never been in Cognito. I hear no one recognizes you there. I have, however, been in Sane. They don't have an airport; you have to be driven there. I have made several trips there, thanks to my friends, family and work. I would like to go to Conclusions, but you have to jump, and I'm not too much on physical activity anymore. I have also been in Doubt. That is a sad place to go, and I try not to visit there too often. I've been in Flexible, but only when it was very important to stand firm. Sometimes I'm in Capable, and I go there more often as I'm getting older.
 
One of my favorite places to be is in Suspense! It really gets the adrenalin flowing and pumps up the old heart! At my age I need all the stimuli I can get! I have not yet been in Continent, and I don't remember what countries were on it. It's an age thing. They tell me it is very wet and damp there. So I'm not planning to go soon.

Mary goes to the post office to buy stamps for her Hanukkah cards. She approaches the cashier and asks, “May I have 50 Hanukkah stamps?” 
“What denomination?” the cashier replies.
“Oy vey, has it come to this? OK, give me 26 Sephardic, 12 Ashkenazic, and 12 Hasidic.”

We can certainly understand that mercy and kindness are stellar traits to which to aspire – but shameful? What is so admirable about the ability to feel humiliation?

It’s nothing less than a crystal clear sign of kedusha.

Animals need no clothes, and openly tend to their everyday needs because they possess no perception of dignity, and therefore have no feeling of disgrace when they do something “beneath” their stature. They can’t lose something they don’t have.

The more society promotes behavior in mankind that endorses and idolizes base, animalistic and deviant conduct, the more man’s inherent holiness (made in the image of G-d) is stripped away. The further humanity distances itself from our Creator, the bar of dignity is lowered more and more, and therefore the requisite reactions of humiliation are fewer and farther between.

An intrinsic trait of a Jew is our unique spiritual distinction. When, G-d forbid, we engage in a behavior that is beneath our standards, our internal bells of indignity go off. We feel embarrassed, whether in front of others, or in front of HaShem. We have an ever-present, built-in mirror of truth that is reflecting our actions against our G-d given standards. It’s “pas nischt”.

For example, if we continually indulge our eating desires, we are ashamed of the outcome, either by the way we look and, or the way we feel. Perhaps we shy away from pictures, or maybe we avoid overeating in public, yearning for the moment when we are alone and can fress to our hearts content. However, each and every time we feel regret and remorse – regardless of how delicious it was at the time – our shame kicks in, signifying a behavior that compromised our kedusha instead of complimenting it.

Our goal is to use the fear of that internal indignity as a safeguard against engaging in that behavior in the first place. To hold ourselves up to our rightful place as ביישנין, ensuring - as much as we can - that our actions will be consistent with our priorities, not reflecting our impulsive cravings. For shame is truly the arbiter of truth. Good שבת.
