JMH sorry to be the sour note on this creative and thoughtful thread, but your (tongue in cheek?) statement that you can die of being too unhappy is just false. Hazal were not kidding when they equated humiliation with bloodshed. The news is full of tragic cases, the OTDs are spiritually dead of heartbreak, and the pity Yiddish expression,” men starb nit fun hunger, men strabst fun busha” is plainly real.
