    Thanx! (that applies to all respondents) Very well said. Really interesting. But…

    Excluding the nisoyon of excepting an onesh, your categorization of nisyonos is a bit general. You claim that a punishment hurts where as nisyonos are day to day experiences.

    Say a person doesn’t own a private yacht and it bothers him tremendously. He has had his eye on one for yrs and hes just dying to get out there and sail free. He cries out to Hashem and doesn’t understand “WHY G-d dont you give me the extra 120K I need?” No one will tell you that G-d is punishing him. He has a taiyva that he should push himself to overcome. But blur the lines, say he lives in the Hamptons where yacht clubs are common. Say his yacht is Flatbush’s Lexus LS460 or Monsey’s house with a pool or any other Jones situation. Say he cant even afford a family vacation or a trip to the restaurant. Onesh or Nisayon?? Perhaps there is a line based on ones standards that will differentiate the punishment and test. This aplies not only to parnasa, getting a raise or promotion but also to social acceptance, shiduchim, hatzlocha in Torah, health, etc…

    We know regarding Tzidaka that a ex-wealthy gets more than the lifelong pauper. For his tzar is greater. He is being punished.

    Is your initial differentiation correct or perhaps every situation can be nisyonos?? I agree that our daily common occurrences “not to learn or to talk loshon hora, to look where you shouldnt, to be a baal gayva” are nisyonos but the non-spiritual matters may be too?

    Amazing, we tried getting out but they persecuted us instead. Now we’re running to get back in.

    @Nigritude Ultramarine, absolutely not. Nothing wrong with Tennis, Golf or any sport for that matter. Playing it that is. But to go follow every shaigitz and shiksa that made that play and this stat is… that’s right, wrong! Then you even have those “whats wrong with sports” people that must follow the entire dating life, marriage, treason and divorce of their sports idols. Sheesh right back at you.

    ITS ALL NARISHKITE. Unfortunately we all privy ourselves to some amount of shtoosim. What can we do?? Work on ourselves. We know whats good and whats bad, whats right and whats wrong, whats Emmes and whats shtoos. Just dont try convincing other people that “there is nothing wrong with sports”, cause then your in denial and have but little hope.

    So your asking? Stating?

    “If you use it right” is a very broad comment. Everything is fine “if you use it right”. Now that your using it right, how much easier is it for you to not use it right, than it was before??

    No reason to diet on Shabbos. Just enjoy Shabbos for the sake of Shabbos. But really do it for Shabbos.

    I don’t understand. Everybodys privacy should be respected and protected. If you want to enter a room, KNOCK! No answer? KNOCK AGAIN! Call out the persons name or something, Im sure you can figure it out. You have absolutely no permission to enter unless you are told otherwise. Its simple Derech Eretz. Maybe children need locks because their family members (parents included) cant be trusted with the basic considerate decency of waiting for permission to enter?? Why must we need locks to teach our nosy noses its limits of invasion?? In the perfect world LOCKS WOULD NOT EXIST.
