“”assu syag laTorah” to make a fence around the Halchos so we do not violate them. Chumra has a real place in Halacha….”
While this is true, I find that a lot of people have made the Ikkur Toful and the Toful Ikkur. In other words, you want to have a chumra fine, but don’t push it on everyone else. Also, don’t keep your chumra better than you keep the real Torah. Eg. -Someone speaks a lot of LH, but they aren’t even aware what they do because when they do introspection they don’t even begin to see their own bad actions because they say I don’t do anything wrong -look at all these chumras I have. I’m much better than so and so, they don’t keep any of these. Meantime the other guy doesn’t hardly ever speak LH and they do it all the time.
