Reply To: Asking for a Good Year

Most people are not Tzaddikim. That doesn’t mean they aren’t good people but as the Gemara says Beinonim.

But if people aren’t being punished on this world, does it make a difference how they act? Why should they think they won’t have a good year?

Maybe my question wasn’t so clear. If Tzaddik v’rah lo is the “way of the world” then why should we daven for a good year? Why should someone think they won’t have a good year? Tzaddikim are davening but they have an understanding that its yissurim shel ahava, or that they’re suffering for the Klal etc and anyone else should be having the good life.

Hope I made myself clearer.

Thanks.
