UNINTERESTED PARTIES

[97b top] R’ Yochanan: A man would not want his wife to be exposed to a court of law (unnecessarily). But regarding a divorced woman, an ex-husband does not care (for her dignity).

D-E-ep Thoughts: The more close we are to people, the more we usually “feel” for them [“blood is thicker than water”]. We are tasked with re-training our minds to have sympathy for all those around us. When we are able to concern ourselves with others (regardless of relation), we become better people and help others feel better in the process [when they sense we truly care].
