Tochen according to who? I find the topic uninteresting but am always focused on people’s twisting of words, misrepresenting other’s opinions and throwing insults when they run out of things to say. To me that is always the tochen.
“Going to a tzaddik to ask for a brachah should be on the list of serving ‘avodah zara’, right? It would be signifying that he is the one who control eveything. Takeh.”
this is silly. it is one proof of what I said above, that you don’t have any idea how things work outside of what you have learned and lived. Why you would consider that an insult is interesting, considering it is a hallmark of the cheder education.
Do you think that when we go to a tzaddik for a brachah we are signifying that he is the one controls everything? Or are you saying that that is what you do so you assume we do as well?
Spoiler alert – that is never a consideration on either side of the tzaddiks desk.
