Goodness, a wise man once said, is only apparent in its absence.
This short sentence contains almost the entire theory of human psychology: it is the end of the abomination of evil and the choice of the path of goodness.

Sometimes it seems that the better a person is - at least in popular parlance - and the more he has, the less good he is in his inner soul, the one that is subject to the truth and far from imaginary lies.
Sounds complicated? Not if you've crossed the third decade of your life and experienced a thing or two in this world's predatory survival system.
Goodness, according to the theory of the soul, is not measured as a dynamic state of heartache and emotions moving like a whirlwind.
On the contrary, a 'good state' is a static state of mental calm that is free of worries and plans. In simpler terms: goodness is a state of the absence of evil. Therefore, we will never recognize goodness except in its absence and deficiency, and in the takeover of evil in our hearts. There we will notice difficulty and know that when the difficulty was not there, we had good.

Sometimes, foolish people are the ones who reveal to us, and in fact to the whole world, how good and even very good our simple situation is.
A civilized person, who conducts his life according to the human 'rule book', may never realize how good his situation is, until he is exposed to the local fool, and thanks to him discovers the perfection and goodness in the normal person.
A healthy person, even if he knows that he is doing well by being healthy, will still not 'feel' the good, until the point where, God forbid, he is exposed to a sick person who is unwell, who has difficulty performing simple actions that he, the healthy person, performs easily. Only then will he truly understand that his static condition is good.

This week, it was casually announced that an ultra-Orthodox Jew (some wrote 'Avrech' - he did not) filed a complaint with the Israel Police, the Central Elections Committee, and the IDF Ombudsman against one of the great men of the generation, who issued a mitzvah for yeshiva students to do everything they can to ensure the success of the ultra-Orthodox public in the elections.
Where is the problem?
Well, according to that serial "Israel petitioner," the holy call is contrary to state and military laws, which allow yeshiva students to avoid enlisting in the army, provided they engage in Torah study and their Torah is their art. Such an action, in his opinion, goes beyond what is permitted by law.
The truth is, there is no need to address this stupid act and it is almost forbidden to engage in it.
When a Jew fools in front of everyone, it is a mitzvah to turn a blind eye and act 'as if' we didn't see. It is unpleasant. But here, besides the seriousness of the act itself, and through the blatant impudence of his actions, the fool reveals something small and nice about ourselves - the members of the Haredi public.
The rage and shock felt by anyone who has a 'homicidal Jewish soul' within them, like the sense of disgust and disgust that rises within us at the sound of this terrible audacity, teach and reveal more and more about the pure and virtuous soul that resides within the innermost being of ultra-Orthodox Judaism.
We are happy.

I met him, the 'ultra-Orthodox Jew,' the Israel petitioner. He seemed smug and delighted by the widespread attention he received. He needed it.
""Tell me," I asked, "is this all for publicity? Aren't you afraid?" I dared to make it difficult.
His answer was a bit long, too complicated for 'Godless' people like you. Something with a lot of 3377 and penal laws by sections. Forget it, it's complicated.
He didn't answer a single sentence when I told him that he would probably have represented Eichmann for publicity. He just nodded his head and smiled crookedly.

His mistakes are many. But his biggest mistake begins, of course, with the general public's incorrect view of the world of Torah.
Unlike the general parties that represent the gnawing lust of the young, which is subject to change from time to time, and use the party as an end and not as a means, Haredi Judaism, which is separated from the material world, sees the election campaign as nothing more than a difficult and tormented path, at the end of which perhaps welfare will be granted to the world of Torah, to the public of the Abrahams, and to the entire people of Israel.
The war is now on every vote, and the struggle for the success of the Haredi parties in the elections is no less than a rigorous examination of Rambam in the laws of sacrificial work, and perhaps even more important at this time than a good shtikkal by Rabbi Chaim.
And no, you didn't mean 'its cancellation is its existence', God forbid.
There is no cancellation here because it is what it is, there is a "Torah business" here, strictly from the strictest of strictest, and those who engage in the work of heaven have not moved a millimeter from their sacred definition as their Torah is their art.
