Why am I not surprised that Icky doesn't know himself very well and thought he never did cannabis and yet here he is. Putting a check mark by "lies to himself" (yes, I've upgraded--or downgraded?--"doesn't know himself" to "lies to himself").
[they]wear weird hats and polyester suits & dresses that leave no flesh uncovered, not just like us! --LOL.
in fact, non-Hasidim barely exist to them except as physical objects ... I feel like there's two directions a person or people can move in: extending regard/personhood/care beyond the narrow range of blood relations and then neighbors, etc., maybe even to non-human beings etc. OR going the other way and shrinking your group-of-concern v-e-r-y very small and then not caring about anyone outside that. I know which direction I prefer for people to move in, but eh, there's no need for me to let myself brood on that. It's a very sunny day today, too, as you say. (But I too have lots of remuneration to get through...)
