Chazal say that someone who forgets something he learned is ‘Keilu mischayev benafsho’
Chazal say that about someone who forgot stam or someone who forgot because he was negligent? I’ll leave that as an exercise for you.
Hashem does not ‘need’ anyone’s Mitzvos!
But we need His mitzvos.
the Mesilas Yesharim, or as you would call it, the Really-scary-you-are-going-to-Gehinom-Mussar Sefer’ says, Veha’adam Lo Nivrah Elah Lehisanag El Hashem, man was only created to take pleasure in Hashem, and to benefit from His presence for that is the greatest pleasure and truest pleasure greater than any other pleasure in the world!…
…We were created to have pleasure, to enjoy this world to the max!
This is incorrect. To see this, read the next sentence in Mesilas Yesharim: u’makom ha’edun ha’gadol hu ha’olam haba (and the place of the great pleasure is the next world). Then the sefer quotes Pirkei Avos saying that this world is a means to get there, and what are those means? The sefer says (drumroll)… hem hamizvos (they are the mitzvos)!
just ‘doing’ Mitzvos, doesn’t mean very much to Him at all.
