This thread has just won the “most constructive thread of the year award”
lightbrite there are two things I wanted to tell you:
1. That in my opinion when determining one’s level of yiras shomaim by a certain mitvah they donot do properly, we have to take into consideration how hard this mitvah is for them. Not that you should give up on the mitvah just because it’s hard for you, just so that you can evaluate how far you’ve come properly.
2. A little advice: you need to be smart in Avoidas Hashem. Often you can find ways to get around the yetzer ara without actually fighting it.
Tell me if you understand what I mean. If not I’ll try and think of some examples (The ones I could think of were too personal to share)
