mamashtakah…well said. This reminds me of a story…
A man is on a boat, a wave throws him overboard and he prays to be saved. Along comes another boat, they try to help him, but he yells to them to leave him alone, that only Hashem will save him…along comes another boat, but again he refuses to be helped, he finally drowns and goes to shamayim…there he says; “I was a good person, I davend and learnt all day, why didn’t you save me in the water”….the answer, I tried, why do you think I sent you all the boats…
