Hi,
"The results of lechery are unspeakable. The powers of the body become exhausted. Everything better and nobler in the man dies out. Man becomes a brute and knows only pleasure - and animal pleasure. Children, who should be the offspring for the future, from whom the future of the human race is built, enter the world - and have no father and mother to educate them to become true human beings! They have no home in which their noblest and most Divine part, their spirit and heart, may be cultivated and may develop, through the living parental example, into a useful and godly life.
"Woe to the time when the sexes do not keep themselves holy! Countries and States in vain seek for the cause of their decline - and do not see that they cease to be States as soon as their homes are ruined."
(Rav Shimshon Raphael Hirsch, Horeb, paragraph 437)
Have a great day,
Mordechai

ReplyDeleteWhat does he mean by "the cease to be States"?
Not sure, but he lived in a time of European proletariat revolt and social upheaval.
