[QUOTE="mLevm, post: 2409927, member: 786269"] The question is if someone would like to do them or not. As every person can do everything he wants, he might do it (but it would be a transgression) so there is no "Police" who prevents him from. So it depends on the person's will to do or not to do something. In my eyes it is difficult as a child because then it is more that you are not allowed because your parents told you not to and the appeal through your non jewish fellows is pretty high; especially if you're the only Jew in class. But as grown up person you generally have a fixed set of values and already defined for yourself which is especially important. So those things that are very important to you are not difficult and you generally do not have the demand to try them out. The problem are those Mitzvos that are difficult for you - and every person have some favorite Mitzvos and some that he does not like and this might be your struggle. This mixture of easy and hard "rules" are our connection to G-d and as we do not know which ones are more important than others to him, we have to try to do our best to do what we can. It definetly does not work out all the time, but that's human and people try harder next time - G-d will understand. [/QUOTE]
