"Bardichev" responds in his indelible style:
Forget the apology for right now, just stay clean!!
Yes, we all want to do Teshuvah.
But here on GYE you will learn how to live life.
You will grow. You will be happy and at peace.
So if you will ask me, 'Bards, what's so bad about a little regret - and a huge "I'm sorry"??'
I will answer you, my dearest chaver.
You are in a cesspool. You got your Yom Tov suit dirty.
Does Mommy need an "I'm sorry" now, or does mommy needs you out of the cesspool??
I heard a story from the Tzaddik, Reb Nosson Vachtfoigel, the Lakewood Mashgiach ZT"L...
A bachur did a sin.
He asked the Mashgiach for a kapparah.
The Mashgiach said, "Come back in a few weeks".
Some weeks passed...
He came back.
The mashgiach said, "Come at the end of the z'man".
"Come next z'man"...
"Come at the end of next z'man"...
The bachur was getting antsy...
He came Elul...
Selichos...
Rosh Hashanah...
Finally the Mashgiach said, "Come to me on Yom Kippur".
On Yom Kippur the bachur said, "Rebbe, what should I do??"
The Mashgiach replied, "Gribble nisht" (don't delve into it)...
Move on!!
Often times the Yetzer Hara wants us to be busy with the kapparah as a way to keep us HOLDING ON to the sin.
Just Keep On Trucking!!
