The Criminal Paradigm, Fiddling around on the Roof
We were watching the old Topol character in Fiddler on the Roof.

Son, Step Seven of Twelve is the essence of the entire program. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings. The essential character trait is Humility. Without humility adversity will overwhelm us.
