What is the most radical type of lifestyle you can adopt? We are pretty radical---not because of what we do, but because of what will not do. We wont ever blow things up or anything like that. The most radical words are Yes, and No! Yes, we will choose (choose is another radical principle) to follow Torah, to seek it in our lives. No, we will not participate in other ways of life--often what people call normal. No, we wont follow a multitude to do the evil a majority is doing. Saying NO makes you suspect, disliked, a pariah. You step outside of the circle of protection of that multitude pursuing evil and then they will accuse you of doing every kind of antisocial even criminal act no matter what you truly do or not do. Do you remember as a child being chided by other children for not playing right? What happens when the children get bigger and have more persuasive threats? This is why things like non-violence can work. Power is in your hand and in your mind, where the realms Torah must rule..
