The train 24 Jul 2012 02:34 #142240

  • Torah
I am a good bochur, learning, and I was very chizzuked up from guardyoureyes since age 14 and a half, now just turned 17. Since I started working when 14, officially becoming Shomer habris half a year later, I've fallen less than 10 times, but it doesn't mean I haven't fallen. I still have problems with shmiras einayim, particularly on the train when I go to see my beloved Rebbe. He cares about me, and I asked him about this, but I gotta go to the experts when it gets this tough. I sometimes end up too close to women, and one time even worse, a woman was "too close" to me and I didn't do anything about it. Nothing usually leads to shichvas zera, but its disgusting! I am "that kid" who is known as the nice talmid chochom and there I am letting go of myself like that, sometimes even putting on a regular hat and tucking in my tzitzis not to make a chillul Hashem. Its not fair to the people who hold me so highly and ask me to daven for them. I don't mind being in a position of respect if thats where my Rebbe wants me but I know at the same time that I personally, between me and G-d must DESERVE it 100%. I really don't like the "fakers" who aren't willing to work on themselves and schlep kovod from bochurim while they continue in evil ways, and this is what I've been, so help me rise higher, so there won't be any more of this nonsense and so that I can get back to my avoidah, to be a good chassidishe bochur that my Rebbe pushes me with so much love to be!

Welcome Torah!

Hm... Torah, Didnt we learn together this morning?

Welcome to GYE, Tachlis pick up the Handbook and check out GYE in a nutshell to see where you stand.

Taking the train is a particularly tough nisayon. Maybe try bringing an I-pod with shiurim on it with you. Close your eyes, sit back and relax. Its understandable that if one girl got too close you had a tough time doing something about it, dont let it get you down.

Hatzlacha!

Shalom, reb Yid.


I sometimes end up too close to women, and one time even worse, a woman was "too close" to me and I didn't do anything about it.

could you clarify this phrase? what do you mean exactly. just close like in a bus ?

You know, "Torah", is du a zach, man darf nish vargessn:


One of the most meaningful things that we can take out of a fall (particularly after a long clean streak) besides for brushing up on our defenses and strengthening our barriers, is simply the humility that we get when we realize that in spite of how well we were doing, we were able to fall - just like that.

This humility renews our connection with Hashem. The more we feel how much we NEED Hashem's constant mercy and help each day, the more connected and dependant we are on Him. And this kesher is so precious to Hashem, that sometimes He brings a Tzadik to fall for that reason alone.


Was not meant as toychocho (who am i.), just thats the metzius. good bocherim suffer from it.

hatzlocho!

btw, as i understood, in 2.5 years you fell just about 10 times. wow. ! not bad. what is your strategy/plan?
