Once, I came home to find my children climbing into the attic through
a hole in the ceiling -- an act I had sternly forbidden due to the
dangers involved. But I watched before I opened my mouth. It took
four of them: Two to lift one up and another to hold the chair those
two were standing on. It was then that I understood something I had
heard my Rebbe say many times:
When a father sees his children working together with love, he is
prepared to forgive them for anything. Better harmonious troublemaking
than acrimonious obedience.
And so too with the Father Of Us All. "Better they abandon me," He
says, "than abandon one another."
