Reply To: Do what feels good, give in to your impulses, and worry about consequences later

Hacham, I am referring tangentially to the recent exceptionally cold blooded murders commited by people from our community, both because there were lapses of sanity involved.

BUT in addition to these fatal acts, there are more sins being committed openly, encouraged by a “just do it” mentality, felt in the atmosphere more than ever before. Theres disregard for right and wrong, and consequences, as evidenced by the many family issues we hear of, Shidduch issues, treatment of other human beings in a selfish manner, that goes on every day, by people who were taught to behave better and couldnt care less. With each passing day, we are becoming more of a “Me and my needs first, I dont care who I hurt” society.

Another name, how right you are! Good news doesnt sell. There are large numbers of tremendous Baalei Chesed in existence, definitely! But I still think many are more daring these days and are more willing to do the wrong thing K N O W I N G L Y and hurt others, without regret or uneasiness, than ever before.
