In Avodah Digest V25#12, RLK asked:

Mesillat Yesharim, Chapter on Perishut....Even though...a man will have to
give an accounting to the
Presence for everything that his eyes beheld and he did not wish to eat,
though permitted and able to do so...the Ramchal still says that it is
proper to abstain as much as possible from
all worldly pleasures: :
' The undesirable type of separation is that of the foolish gentiles who
abstain not only from that which is not essential to them, but also from
that which is...' <
Why does this mean anything other than that, if "able," one should "behold"
that which is "permitted" but not indulge in such "beholding"?  RSRH would
IMHO agree.

RMM responded:
> I'd view it as a machloket. <
I would disagree w/ RMM.

All the best from
