#6 Its not Geneivah, it’s Shtick
|
|
It is very difficult for us human beings to accept that we do things that are wrong, and so we rationalize. We create illusions and fanciful stories that we ourselves don’t believe. And so, you will find intelligent, otherwise rational people saying things like, “Of course I wouldn’t steal, stealing is dishonest, but this isn’t stealing .It’s “shtick”. We “mach shtick”. We “mach Shtick” with the tickets, “mach shtick” with the regents. But it’s O.K because it’s not stealing; it’s only “shtick”.
This Shmuz helps us identify something that has become blight in our community, the lack of a true sense of integrity in all of our dealings.
