Reply To: Blaming the Same Gender Unions: A Personal Rant

@Hakatan

1. That gemarra is the one that Health was referring to when he said “It isn’t so pashut” http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/blaming-the-same-gender-unions-a-personal-rant/page/3#post-435118

So that has already been answered.

2. The Iyun Yaakiv there says that the tzaddikim aren’t punished for the same REASON as the reshaim, just at the same time. The tzaddikim have some minor flaw for which it is considered a chessed for them to be punished in this world, in order to be considered clean in the next world. This punishment is at the same time.

3. In regards to my opening post, even if you apply Kivan (which isn’t as simple as you make it), why justify a disaster with a non-applicable reason, limiting the mussar, when one can try to look in the mirror and improve themselves? (Which is what this initial topic was all about)
