Who's Chasing Who?
A yeshiva bokher ran over three miles to the home of his Rebbe and pounded on his door. "Help me! Please Help me!" The Rebbe opened the door and saw his young student crumpled in tears and exhaustion on the doorstep. The Rebbe brought the young man in, sat him down, made some hot tea and gently asked what was disturbing him. Reluctant to confess, but needing to speak to someone, the young man told his teacher that he was studying quite late at night and when he became a little bored with his studies, he saw an ad on one of his spam e-mails about a pornographic site. "I clicked on the website and.......and.......oh Rebbe! I've been up all night watching shmootz you wouldn't believe. It's my yetzer hara. It's chasing me! Tell me what to do!" The Rebbe took a long sip of tea, put his hand on his student's shoulder, and with a slight smile he asked, "Are you so sure it's the yetzer chasing you......or are YOU chasing the yetzer?"
