Moish & Markz

I do appologize if it comes across as offensive. That is not my intention. Sorry I am not the best politcian so you will get me at my words quite often.

But here is how I would rephrase the statement Moish quoted.

When one does things that are out of the ordinary one should be very cautious and aware of the dangers and downsides towards it. Sometimes things look nice on the surface but they may not be the ultimate solution and can have negative effects upon us.

Anxiously awaiting Cordnoy's access to a computer to give us his dissection and explain why he loves the post while disagreeing with it.

I could argue that your first 2 points contradict each other; that working on being "normal" includes acknowledging that there is a woman walking down the street towards me that I will do my best not to look at.
I once made a kabolah for one week in Elul to take off my glasses in the street only for the one block from my house to shul, and I didn't feel farfrumt, I felt good that I was actively expressing my desire to be more makpid on shiras eynayim. (I didn't tell my wife because I knew she would tell me to be "normal" - but my kids told her )



Beautiful - women should look their best for Yomtov in a tzniusdig way. Thank you.



Obviously the nisayon of lust is a thousandfold stronger than it was, and just because they were wrong, (yes, not covering your hair is wrong for a woman, which is an example you didn't mention), in their accepted norms doesn't have any relevance to me today.
