MERCIFUL MERITS

[6a bottom] Rebbe: Normally, if a woman is a true Sotah (adulterous woman) the bitter waters she drinks would make her stomach explode. But, if she has some merits (ie: Torah learning), she would rather be saved the immediate, public, and embarrassing lethal exposure (and rather deteriorate over time).

D-E-ep Thoughts: No matter how bad people may in fact be, we can always try to find some redeeming qualities about them. We are not meant to judge anyone in this world. Our place is rather to find whatever good we can in people and use those lessons for us to grow as individuals.
