The problem is that if I don’t have a TV and you do, I may feel superior to you. And if you are a learner and I’m not, you may feel superior to me. This list could go on and on. The point is not to feel superior to any other Jew even if we keep more mitzvot than others and yes, that includes the IDF, MOs, secular, etc. We are all at different levels. You are not better than me and I am not better than you. We are all equals at different stages. Hope that is clearer.
Ridiculous. There is definitely room for debate about what is right and wrong, there is room for debate about what path HKBH wants one to choose. But there is no argument about the fact that the Mitzvos you do and the more Torah you learn (in proportion with Aveiros of course) – The more ???? ? one is ?????, the more schar one will get, and the better person one is. On the other hand, the more aveiros one does, the worse person he is, and the more ???? one gets.
So a person who has a pretty clean slate and loads of Mitzvos is going to be a much better person than the person who has is a Choiteh and has not done any Mitzvos.
This may not justify speaking or thinking bad about sinners, because one doesn’t know the special circumstances behind every situation and nor does one know the private life of any person. But that is neither here nor there!
