So, wait, are you arguing that Chabad is bad because they do mitzvos only for schar, or that they’re bad because they don’t believe in schar? I truly do not see how it can be both.
“So often people claim that it is wrong to consider schar ve’onesh, but that is not because we are on a higher madreiga. It’s because we are on a much lower madreiga”
You’re speaking of people who are neither doing things for hashem’s ratzon nor for schar, but rather just out of habit or a sense of cultural duty? Other than your friend, do you really find that problem to be more prevalent in Chabad?
