1:09America, same thing. But it's tough to do it over an extended period of time simply because you just don't know where you're going, how you're doing. It just makes the whole trip miserable. So there's a second solution. Don't leave the house. That's the solution; that's it. Don't leave the house. People ask me all the time, "Oh, how's Boca? How's Boca? You like it there?" Anytime I go to a new shiur or any event, people ask, "Yeah, you live in Boca Raton, right? How is it?" I don't know. What do you mean you don't know? How long have you lived there? Three years. So how is it? I don't know. What do you mean you don't know? I don't go anywhere. The biggest trip that I take is to my shiur Torah. That's it. Other than that, once, I don't know, a month or two, my wife has to send me to the Winn-Dixie or Publix to get some groceries because she can't do it or somebody else can't do it. Then I have to go. Other than that, I don't leave the house. Why? I don't want to look. That's just the way it is.
2:11How's Boca? I have no idea. How is the next neighborhood going to be that I'm going to move to? I don't know. And I won't know, B'ezrat Hashem. Why? It's the only way. It's the only way. It's the only way. I know that looking on the floor, I can do it. But over an extended period of time, it becomes miserable. I'd rather just go sit, study, do my thing, and, you know, go to a lecture. That's it. What do I need to go outside for? I'm not going to malls. So what's the ideal situation? Stay in the house. Go give a lecture, go back home, go give a lecture, go back home. What do I need to look at? My wife, my kids, the beginning, middle, end. That's it, finished. That's how you protect your eyes. The other option is to look at the floor all day. The problem is, many guys don't want to stay home, obviously. They want to see the world and whatever. Fine, I don't blame you. You want to see the world? Do it at your own risk. The problem is that along the way of seeing the world, you're also gonna see a bunch of people. And if you want to inherit Torah, you can't see it. You can't look at women that are half-naked and think it's okay. It's not okay. Why? That damages your neshama. Every time you see an immodest woman, it damages your neshama.
