Guilty!

A Hasid once went to a country fair.   He put down his streimel for a moment to wipe his brow.   An instant later when he reached for the hat it was gone.   Looking this way and that way he saw a sea of streimels like his own.   What to do?   With a stroke of insight he cried out, “Look, look!   The streimels on the thief’s head is on fire.”   At once as man swept off his hat and betrayed his guilt.”   - Rabbi Jonathan Gerard Thank God all people are endowed with a sense of guilt and remorse.   It keeps our yester ha-ra in check.
