How I felt about not answering a telephone call on shabbas

I must say I was angered that someone might call on shabbas up to this week. Now I just realize that shabbas is a day to live and not a day to hole up and camp alone and away from the rest of the planet. Many people think it is a day to hole up. I say live your life and be happy. I am not going to be pretenting to be the holy guy on the block who plays Gods fiddle for God himself. I just want to enjoy being a human being. So I will be answering the phone. To answer the title of this blog, I felt that I was the pope and that all the people calling were the people waiting outside my window outside in the square below. And no one messes with the pope, right?
