“No. It’s not bad per se. However it’s important to know that this is true. Because then when we think we are using our “critical thinking ” we have to realize that our thinking is tainted by non Torah values.”
taht is “tainted” sometimes following “western values” IS a Torah value.
“דעלך סני לחברך לא תעביד זו היא כל התורה כולה ואידך פירושה הוא זיל גמור”
surely that is a quintessential torah value.
now what determines what is “דעלך סני ” Is there an objective list in the Torah?
Put another way imagine the following
“ploni parked in two spaces so I hit him”
“wow thats uncalled for”
next day
“ploni parked in two spaces so I cut of his legs”
Omg thats psychotic and you should be locked away”
Is this reaction really keneged the Torah?
would you say, oy your tainted by western values in a perfect world youd be more upset by hitting than cutting off legs ?
