The Importance of Mindfulness

Three youths hid themselves on a Sabbath in a barn in order to smoke. Hasidim discovered them and wished to flog the offenders. One youth exclaimed, “I deserve no punishment, for I forgot that today is the Sabbath.” The second youth said, “And I forgot that smoking on the Sabbath is forbidden.” The third youth raised his voice and cried out “I, too, forgot.” “What did you forget?” he was asked. The lad replied, “I forgot to lock the door of the barn.”
