Reply To: why were reshaim created?

I will illustrate: The Ohr Hachaim Hakodash in Parshas Beshalach on מה תצעק אלי דבר אל בני ישראל ויסעו why scream to, me talk to the jews and tell them to move, asks why does tefila not help? He answers that there is a time when din, judgement rules, so we need to create an action to make mercy rule. When they showed their sacrifice by throwing themselves into the water, they converted din to rachamim.
