“Why would you feel bad for the guy.”
The ramchal clearly says in derech hashem that people can be rewarded in this world when they dont deserve it simply because of who their parents or children are. In the next world though the ramchal says all these benefits will be straightened out for good or bad. this allows one to suffer even though the person does not deserve it, but he will be rewarded in olam haba for his suffering. When you view someone who is suffering for this reason, you are more likely to help him and feel more compassion for him apposed to saying he is a formal criminal no?
“lack of point blank reference in the Gemara is not an argument.”
A POSSIBLE answer to my argument does not negate the fact that its an arguement.
“Gilgul is from Toras Nistar. It wasn’t mentioned openly until after the Ramban”
why was it not mentioned openly? and now it can be mentioned so openly to a bunch of people who don’t even know what muktzah is? So you should know, I personally find the idea of gilgul very enticing and have no selfish emotional issue against it.
