Ideas Can Really Grip People

I met an observant Jew who convinced himself of an obscure political ideology.

Then, so comfortable was he with this ideology, in spite of hailing from a thoroughbred Litvish family, he decided to go and join Chabad, seeing a speculative similarity between that and his chosen political orientation.

Wow.

His family must be very open-minded…

Take it from me, his chosen politics really are obscure; he himself admitted he never met anyone but me who knew its name or content.

Don’t worry; he’s married already.
