Enjoying life is not a sin.
So why do you feel guilty?
Hashem didn't create a world full of
beauty, food, money,
marriage, music, and blessing
so you could walk around
acting like enjoying it is a crime.
People think suffering makes them spiritual.
Deny yourself. Starve yourself.
Feel guilty for having what others don't.
But that's not Torah.
Torah says:
וְשָׂמַחְתָּ בְּכָל הַטּוֹב אֲשֶׁר נָתַן לְךָ ה׳ אֱלֹקֶיךָ
Be happy with all the good Hashem gave you.
Holiness isn't about picking
your own list of what to enjoy.
It's about enjoying what the Torah permits
and staying away from what it doesn't.
And if Hashem gave you a blessing
and you refuse to enjoy it,
you're not being holy.
You're being ungrateful.
The sin is not pleasure.
The real sin is forgetting Who gave it.
Torah is not against enjoying the gift.
It's against forgetting the Giver.
Acting guilty over blessing doesn't make you holy.
It makes you blind.
