You know, there's a halacha, it's more like a hashkafa, but there's a din that if a person doesn't bear by Maidim, the Gemara says, his back turns into a snake.

And there's different explanations why that is.

Why does his back turn into a snake? But a simple understanding could be, because a person doesn't bear by Maidim, that means he's not makir the Toiva of HaKadosh Baruch Hu.

A person's supposed to make sure he's makir the Toiva from the Rabbani Shalom.

A person doesn't bear by Maidim.

He's not machnia himself in front of HaKadosh Baruch Hu.

and his spine becomes a snake because the essence of a snake is a creature that has no hachna in front of their banish lobe because the snake doesn't or feels like it doesn't need to come on because it has everything it needs right the snake is eats offer it has everything it needs So why does the spine become like a snake? Why is it the spine? The spine, a human being is really astera.

Let's take, for example, a person has health, Baruch Hashem, a person has paranosin.

So we want to feel independent.

We want to feel like we can do it ourselves.

The Ben Shalom created in a human being.

An innate nature to desire independence.

And that's a very healthy nature.

You're supposed to want to be independent.

A human being that wants to be dependent, it's not a healthy thing.

You're supposed to want to be independent.

But at the same time, you have to be dependent on their Ben Shalom.

So the spine really is what does that.

The spine makes a person erect.

A person stands tall, like an independent.

But at the same time, when he talks to Rabbeinu Shalom, he's made him.

He's machnia himself.

So if he's just an animal, he never has any independence.

So it's not such a kunst that he's bowing to their Bani Shalom.

He's always bowed.
