Bar Yochai...

Interesting thought. Soem rabbis were sitting around, one said, how wonderful the Romans are for what they did, another said nothing, R' Shimon B Yochai said, its bad cuz they did it for themsleves, some guy listening went and told on them, and Rashb"i had to run and hide in a cave. he was there 12 years, came out, and couldnt deal with the world, couldnt understand people were working and not learning, so he went back in the cave for another year, and then he saw that people need to wrok and all that and he came out. He taught through the Zohar all about Ahavat Hashem and bringing Kedusha through every day things. My question is, after 13 years in the cave, did he change his mind? If he believed in bringing Kedusha in everything, why not through the Roman bridges and streets? I think he went in the cave believing in the Charaidi cutting yourself off from the world, and came out believing in the Dati Leumi bringing Kedusha into everything around you way of life. Happy Lag B'Omer!
