FEIGNING ILLNESS

[68a top] Braisa: If someone pretends to have a blind eye, a swollen belly, or a shriveled leg, he will not depart from this world before actually experiencing such a condition.

D-E-ep Thoughts: Everything that is and happens in this world is directly from G-d. We, as individuals, are also are portions of G-d. Just as when Hashem “spoke” and thereby brought the world into existence, we too do we have some ‘power’ of creation as well. We must always be careful to never pretend sickness or harm, as we may be the cause of unwanted results. We should always act with and display positive energies to bring forth more blessings in this world.
