Reply To: Are yissurim from negligence a kappara chet

Since its not so pashut that even suicide wont be a kapara for someone for a chet see (shevus yaakov 2:111) and is mutar for other fears as well (see ritva avoda zara 18a), perhaps negligence can also be a kappara. (Not that we paskin this way.)

Its a fine line saying that these yisurim come to be a kapara for someone for a chet they did, and these yisurim come to someone from negligence.

Negligence requires bechira, and very often bechira might not exists where we think it does.
