Severity of Internet use [#14873]

Many people do not understand the severity of Internet use, and certainly in our generation which is on a low madreigah of ruchniyus. Hashem doesn’t make things too hard for us, and there’s so much good in every Jew even in today’s generation – any Torah-observant Jew who learns even a little bit of Torah is probably considered a tzaddik in Heaven, and especially because our generation has so many challenges. And I’ve heard tzaddikim say that our current generation is entirely tzaddikim in Hashem’s eyes – especially any Jew today who keeps all of the Torah. So why would being connected to the Internet make a Jew lose out on his Olam HaBa?? Especially if it has a filter. Although filters aren’t the ideal situation, it’s still a lot better than unfiltered Internet. If a person puts a filter on his Internet, isn’t that showing Hashem that he cares about his neshamah a little bit and he fear Hashem a little bit? Why won’t that little bit of yiras shomayim be enough for him to get into Olam HaBa??

Olam HaBa (the Next World) is entirely the spiritual radiance of Elokus (G-d consciousness). This technology [internet] totally contradicts and blocks that G-dly radiance.
