Question: Do you believe that people are trustworthy?
Answer: Trust is something a person must earn from another. At the same time, we are required as Jews to always give someone the benefit of the doubt and trust them as much as possible.

Question: I travel to work in Manhatten daily and I work with goyim. I am totally faithful to my wife but I can't say I am not affected by the beautiful women around me. This fight is making me depressed and I have lots of respect for my wife. I don't want to continue feeling this way. I am in > a lot of pain. Do you have any advice?
Answer: Hi, I feel for you and you should know that your fighting doesn't go unnoticed to Hashem. Did you read the chapter in my sefer kavanos Halev on the yetzer hara. In there is very practical advice. Are you going to the mikvah often, it can also help. Also you can say the tikkun haklali One of the biggest mistakes people make is that they fight a thought in their minds instead of simply pushing it away.

Question: I look at pornography alto. I have a lot of filters on my computer but i can get through all of them.
Answer: I don't like teaching that a person should run from a problem instead of addressing it head on but part of addressing it head on is the realization that a home computer may not be that important to have. If you want to remove an infection, sometimes you have to take out the tissue around it.

Subject:unholy things
Question: My evil inclination is making me crazy, and I keep falling after it. My main problem is looking at improper things.
Answer: I think that once someone is in a more advanced stage of abolishing their yetzer hara, it attacks more strongly. This may be the case here. Try some simply methods of eating more earthy foods that cool the body more. It sounds like your on top of this a little but the main thing is to understand there will be fall backs but not to let them get you down. Sometimes one must go down to go up.

Question: Reb Moshe, I was able to stop masturbating for a month and a half, and then I screwed-up and have done it twice within the past few days. Is the only solution to wasting seed marriage? I felt very tense, and had a lot of thoughts entering my mind. Sometimes it is difficult to deal with stress in my life. should I give up trying to control this urge?
Answer: no, all the holy lights come from overthroughing it tand it must be while someone is still in their youth cause if they get old without controlling it, they will never break it. It is a war, you must be a warrier and come up with battle plans
