When You're So Involved in Your Achievements You Can Sometimes Forget the Human Side of a Person

A friend of mine went to Germany. In the airport, they patted his body all over, and looked under his yarmulke, etc. although he had been through the metal detector and he was clean of metal. They were extremely thorough, and somewhat rough, and very rigid and mechanical. Eretz Yisroel has much more cause of suspecting terrorists, yet, in Eretz Yisroel they were much more easygoing than these Germans.

The German is like the Orev (raven), and: כָּל הַפּוֹסֵל בְּמוּמוֹ פּוֹסֵל they project their own faults on others. No nation was as cruel as they were. They are also very mechanical, and their workmanship is always solid without flaws. They put their Kochos into being M'sudar and precise and totally Oisgehalten in their hard work. This can be a great Ma’ala, but you can forget the human side of a person. They can look at a Gavra (human) as if he is a Cheftza (object), like Anshei Sedom who cut the feet of their guests so they should fit into their beds! Rachmana Litzlan!
