A Place Called Prison | Rabbi Sholom Mordechai Rubashkin

0:00In a place called prison, people sat around there for hours watching and it's something I bought for some did not do at all. And one of the people there tried very badly to get me to sit and watch with him and he asked me why don't you want to watch. He understood that the content is no good. I wouldn't want to watch it. But what happens is he says it's a family show. What's wrong with that? Why can't we watch it? And I looked for a way to explain to him and Hashem gave me the father of me thought. Hashem gives us five senses with which he's able to live in this world. He's able to see, he's able to hear, he's able to smell, he's able to touch and to taste. Amazingly, from the five senses, one of the senses Hashem gives us with which we are able to establish what is true and what is not true, to establish the reality of the world around us is seeing. If we see something we know it's true. If we hear something we're not sure, if we touch something we're not sure what it is. If we take something we're not sure what it is.

1:01If we smell something, the only time we want to believe something you have to see it. You saw, you wouldn't give Shimon a hundred dollars, you know what's true if you heard about it, not maybe not so. When a person watches a show, one of the ways that they get you interested in the show and they entertain a person is by showing them things that are not real. The person knows not real. For example, they'll show a special effects, they'll show people flying, people can't fly. But there's special effects that can make it look as if they're flying. So you're watching a screen and you see a person flying from building to building. You see a person picking up a building which is impossible. You know it's impossible to do, but you see it. You see animals talking, you know it's impossible for animals to talk, but you see it. So what are you doing to yourself when you're watching that, when you see that? You're suing something and instead of, you know it's not true. So you say to yourself, ah, that's not true. I see it. I love that. Of course it's supposed to be a gimmick here. It's a special effects. It's not true. The damage done here is terrible. It's amazing because the next time when you see something and you want to establish that

2:02it is true, you have already taught yourself to see something and then your mind say, ah, that's not true. When you walk into a shoe and you want to get inspired by a single girl or a single girl or a single girl or a single girl or a single girl or a single girl or a single girl, you want to be inspired by somebody, each codish and you see it and it's supposed to inspire you. But you're very taught yourself to see something and not be inspired and not care about it. And this is one of the greatest damages that are done. So I told them, I am living in a very dangerous place here. I have to be a see a person and I have to, right away, establish a good guy, a bad guy, be careful not. So I want to keep my eyes straight. I want to keep my eyes off. I see something and I was true. And then when you do it, make sure what you see is true. And then when you do it, make sure what you see is true.
