Awe Is not Enough

Regarding the previous post:

Besides being a great scientist [and needing a good barber], Einstein also had numerous extra-marital affairs. The explanation is thus: If all one has is "awe of the mystery" but is not bound by any laws, then when he feels illicit desire, he will act on it. So of course one should be in awe of Hashem every second of every day - but one must be equally strict about  keeping the laws.
