The words of Hillel from Avos 2.6 sefaria.org/Pirkei_Avot.2.6?lang=bi: Moreover he saw a skull floating on the face of the water. He said to it: because you drowned others, they drowned you. And in the end, they that drowned you will be drowned. Let us not get to the level of emotional eulogies. | |
| Dec 4 at 16:24 | comment | added | Al Berko | Thank you. I adore your zeal, but the answer seems unconvincing and the reasoning too distant. Imagine you meet an Islamic terrorist and you can either die on Kiddush Hashem and merit the highest place in Eden or whatever, or get away and continue your mediocre life. Shouldn't you choose the former? | |
