I'll let the expert find where you gave me the exact same response in the past.

Repost on a repost in that case.

Longer version has a few Igros stories that also led me to Brazil and to eventually find my wife. requires an in-person farbrengen.

Something like that.

Even though current discussion is regarding prohibitions, rather than commandments, being the eve of יא ניסן brings to mind the following (which discusses that a Jew doesn't follow mitzvos because of any outcome):

Just found the following English translation: https://therealshliach.blogspot.com/2008/04/complete-byom-ashtei-assar-5731.html or English video lesson available here.

Either way, in various cases where one needs to transgress, such as due to a life or death situation, if there is a choice between 2 options we will often choose based on the consequence.

I'm not so sure. This time it is in response to a specific conversation/statement. Can't remember what it was last time.

That's way beyond the scope of the current conversation. But the short answer is that if Halacha instructs us to choose a certain way, that is the רצון השם and goes back to the reason a Jew keeps mitzvos.

The short version is that I really hated living in CH and got burned out in shuir daled of Zal in ULY.

That could have been easily remedied had you joined many other Bochurim to my Shabbos table.

Shabbos wasn't the issue, ate at Shmais' house and got all of the gossip in town along with nice niggunim as well.

The noise, the bed bugs, and the rats making off with my wallet in the dorm. That was more than I could handle.

I guess once you've been to 1414 (the old version) and see the cats run away from the rats which are having a feast, you become immune to many things.

The ULY dorm at the time was in Hadar Hatorah. It was bad. Really bad.

And the food. Still have nightmares of Mezonos meatballs. Even the rats wouldn't touch that.

No offence, but I thank Gd every day that I don't live in CH

Cats? I never saw a cat dare to go in there. The rats had a party on the other hand. It's a miracle that people didn't get sick or that the rats never bit anyone (that I know).

Last time I was there you might have been in diapers.

I've had nephews come to my house daily to get something to eat.
