My main concern is the fact that since it has become so normal for me to act a certain way, think a certain way, and sometimes deal with other people a certain way, when you start learning about Judaism and how things are halachically assur, the mindset is still weak… And mindset is not that easy to change.

One of my Rebbeim told me that he was watching a National Geographic (don’t freak out, i’m not trying to be extreme) video with his son, and being the gentle person he was, he couldnt watch the Lion devour the gazelle (or whatever…) now obviously on a much different level, just to be able to turn my head in disgust from ads, speech, the like… is something to strive for
