You Can't Be Half Religious

The more you learn Torah, the more you realize that living a life where you are, you know, expecting to be close to God while betraying him is not only a, you know, a a fool's errand, but it's it's it's it's literally something that's so absurd that it's it's it's it's ridiculous to even think it's possible. It's like saying, "I want to have a loving marriage while cheating on my wife." It's It's not possible. It's not possible. So, person has to understand that if they're living such a life where they're cheating on their wife and they're deluding themselves to believe that they love their wife, they don't love their wife. They love what their wife does for them. They love themselves, but they don't love their wife. Why? Because if you love someone, you don't cheat them. You don't betray them. You don't lie to them. You don't hurt them. Oh, no, but she doesn't know. Even worse. Even worse. They're living in denial thinking that you actually are honest and one day they're going to find out and and realize their whole life was also a lie. So, stop lying to yourself. Learn Torah and you'll understand that there's one way to connect to Hashem and that's through his Torah.
