OK oomis, I will try this one more time (does that make me certifiably crazy?). Please read only what I write. There is no in between the lines here. You stated that the learning of someone who has come out into the “real world” in worth more that that of the yeshiva man because they have faced nisyonas and are learning in spite of it. Which seemed to imply (was I reading between the lines? correct me if I am wrong) that you were advocating that the yeshiva guy “go out into the real world” which would then make their learning worth more. To that and only that, I said, this may be the case BUT one can’t put oneself into a makom sakana just in order to come to the greater madraiga of having overcome a nisayon.

Actually I believe that is one opinion in Chet Adom. He reason that with no internal yetzer yorah it was no Kuntz to be good so if he ate from the tree and the yetzer horah became part of him and THEN he overcame it, it would be a much greater kiddush hashem.

I did not say that it is ossur or wrong to go out to work if circumstances dictate that that is what should be done. I just said that your reasoning of why they should was erroneous.
