Use Things!
 
By GYE

Similar sentiment was expressed by a GYE member:

Things are to be Used and people are to be Loved. But the problem in today's world is that, People are Used & Things are Loved.

In this year, let's be careful to keep this thought in mind:

"Things are to be Used,
but People are to be Loved".

HOPE stands for: Hold On, Pain Ends
 
Daily Dose of Dov
 
The Difference between Normal People & Addicts
 
By Dov

The reason a person whose life is being messed up by using porn 'should' stop - is to be a human being, rather than to be 'good' or 'frum'. This is simply because as long as such a person keeps his goal 'to be frum', he is blissfully oblivious the fact that he is not even SANE. He is living a double life, and is being made a total fool of, by his lust...played. And he is worried about not being 'frum'? The level of denial here is the problem. And he is (we are) pretending that Hashem is in the same denial as he is - that "Hashem is just pining for this guy to 'do Teshuvah' and 'finally be a tzaddik'. After all, don't Chaza"l call a guy who is mugdar min ha'arayos a kadosh?" Religiously romantic, yes, but very far from the Emess. Chaza"l do not call a guy who is living a double life 'a kadosh' - even if by coincidence he does not use porn and masturbate. If he is a person who is living a double life, swallowed up by his obsession with to - or not to - use porn/lust/sex-with-self (masturbation), he is just a goofball. It's like eating matzo with all the deep kavonos...in Tamuz. "But I feel so holy eating matzoh with these lofty kavanos for my avodas Hashem!" Puleez. He has the 'Hashem part, but the problem is that it is not even 'avodah' yet. You gotta be a mentch first, Derech Eretz Kodmah laTorah, and there is no other way. But this is not true for normal people, at all.
