When it is time for my neshamah to part company with my body, I believe that Hashem will decide my future. It doesn’t matter how much TV I have watched in my life – nor what the content was, but rather, how I lived my life. Attending shul, studying various Judaic topics, giving tzedakah to the best of my ability, and doing kind things for others will be the deciding factors. No one person has the right to sit in judgement of how other people choose to live their daily lives (as long as it doesn’t involve illegal activities – then one certainly may be judged). We all do what is right for ourselves and our families. Yidden are often far too quick to point out even minor variances in lifestyles as being harmful. Many of us spend so much time pointing out differences that they forget how much alike we are. It seems the fact that we are all Bnei Yisroel gets left behind. We should be more united and quit quibbling over lifestyle differences. It just serves to be divisive. Accessing the various forms of media available to us is far less harmful than all of the Lashon Hora that arises from from many of these blogs.
