We Choose Our Fate?

In the garden of Eden, in Parshas Ki Seitzei, the possuk says "V'asisa ma'akeh l'gagecha v'lo s'asim damim b'veisecha ki yipol hanofel mimenu." The Gemara says in Maseches Shabbos, daf lamed beis amud aleph, funny loshon, right? Make sure you make a ma'akeh on your roof because otherwise, if somebody falls, you're going to be guilty. And the way the Torah describes the person that falls is "ki yipol hanofel mimenu." "Ki yipol hanofel." What does this even mean? So, after tomorrow or Tomer D'vorah B'Yishmael, "Ki yipol hanofel mimenu." "Roy is there lipol mishashes ume'veiraishis." This person that fell in this possuk was roy lipol mishashes ume'veiraishis. It had already been decreed and predetermined, literally from the beginning of time, that one day this person was going to fall. "Sharei loy nofel." Because this person didn't fall yet, "v'chas of koray nofel." So, to say this possuk is already saying that all the people that are going to fall I'm referring to them as being nofel. As I say "me'reish." That it was already predetermined that the person that falls was going to fall. I if that's the case, so why is the person that didn't make a ma'akeh acharay? "M'galdin z'chuyos al y'day zakai v'chayavin al y'day chayav." But there's an idea that anything that happens to a person was already predetermined. Fate had already decided that this was going to happen. And it was decided so long ago. It was decided already "mishashes ume'veiraishis." The question is, what does this uh even mean, right? The question is, what does this even mean? See, Dovid Yoel brings from the Recanati who's masbir that really the whole koach of ma'aseh bereishis likchoim in the tziur habriah. When the world was created, in that light, the koach and the potential that everything that was going to happen. Now, it didn't happen yet, but the the seeds had already been planted for all those things to happen. Now, how does this reconcile with free will? Okay, this is Kasha, and this is obviously way beyond the scope of this rate, but the point is there is an idea of What is the loophole? Already Mishnah says in Avot 2:4, Rabbeinu Bahya on this pasuk Kiyepo hanoyfo mimenu. V'al derech hamedrash kiyepo hanoyfo mimenu. Roy lipo mishasheis Avot 2:4. All things that are created nivru b'cheftzam uvirtzonam. When they were created, they were created knowing how they were going to be created. call in your name kolam. And Hakadosh Baruchu told them at the time that they were created all the things that were going to happen to them. That before a person's born, Hakadosh Baruchu tells the person every single thing that's going to happen to him in his life. He tells him all the challenges he's going to have. He tells him all the good things, and he tells him all the bad things. The parnassah is going to come easy, it's going to be difficult. You're going to have it on your own, you're going to have to come up to other people. She'nemar b'chol tziv'on. And all of this a person is mekabel on himself before he comes into this world. Before a person enters this world, he's told exactly what his life is going to be like, and he says, "Are you interested or you not interested?" That's what it means Roy lipo, this person knew it was coming to him because he was actually told before he came to the world everything that was going to happen. And not only was he told he signed off on it. In other words, saying that this it's referring to not just the beginning of time, but every single person that comes down on this world before he emerges, he's told what his life is going to be. And he signs off on it. He says I'm okay with this. And that's why when this person falls it's a no fault. Because this person was already aware of the fact that he was going to fall. It just pumped happened today. But he knew that it was going to happen. Not only did he know it was going to happen, he signed off on it. At the end of this piece the quotes again from the Avram from the Azulai the of the the great great this is a it's not and we'll end with the Hazov. He says quote is prepared to send a new soul into this world. So he sends the that's he's in charge of all the souls. And he pulls out the that turns to the and he talks to it. He says he can't see I want you to enter your spiritual the physicality of this people. Because your body your physical is going to come from this people. I want you to take this bring it to this people. And he says I want you to show him a showcase of different different bodies and different possibilities of what your life might look like. And he shows them a tall person, a short person, a show lame, a person who's complete, a balmum. He shows them a holish, somebody that's weak, a gibber, somebody that's strong, a yaffa, somebody that's handsome, a mahora, somebody that's not so handsome. Okay, I say a literally customize yourself. I want you to go I want you to choose exactly what you're going to want to look like where you're in this world. And then the malach tells this nefesh, "Da, I want you to know show you this world that this world that you're about to go to is referred to this is going to be a very short very transient existence. You're going to be here for a couple of years. If you're maybe a little bit more than that, but at some point you're going to expire. You're not going to be here anymore. And afterwards you're going to be and I want you to know that the decision you make for what you want yourself to look like and how you want to feel and be in this world is going to impact the way you're going to be and what you're going to look like the way you're going to feel in the other world. In fact, they tell them the whole shame measure who if you're going to be in this world could be lost and you're going to be a culture. And it says if you're going to be very wealthy in this world, maybe in the next one you're going to be poor or vice versa. He says I want you to understand you're not just deciding for this world because the decision you make for this world will actually impact could be in the reverse what you're going to be in the other existence. >> [laughter] >> And then the malach tells him you get to choose. You get to decide how exactly it is you want to be. Says the azula, there's some nishamas, there's some nefashes that they say, "You know what? I want to have a good run on this world. I want a good 100 year run on this world." And that's what they but then there are people that are smarter there are nefashes that get it and they say, "You know what? I'm going to be in in world and I'm going to I'd rather have it good in the next world. Skipping a little bit, says Rabbeinu Bachya ben Asher a person can never have kindness on why is my friend better looking than me for who who can I because everything that you chose this you picked this body you have kindness you should have kindness on yourself and by the way you were smart when you picked it because you understood this is a transient existence and it's kind of to be a little bit for my years on this world because like this I know that in the next world I'm going to have it good the said the Azulai this meant when they said the you can almost never hear these words the same way again is this something you're interested and told us to every person and every being every existence when we came down on this world we came down with it's a fascinating idea it's a fact we can't remember what happened before we were born right but we existed before we were born and in that existence we actually picked and we chose the that we have in this life and the things that are not so perfect and this these are things that we chose these were things that we picked and when we did it we were clever we smart cuz we understood that people need in this world and we felt that this was something that we can handle and in our infinite wisdom that we had at that point we realized this is this is a good thing this is this is so you want to have kindness look in the mirror that's what you have to have kindness [laughter] on because you picked it the these are all for our good because really really yes but looked at the we have to be careful, and time a person has a little bit of an aside, he should realize that he took this upon himself, and he did it because he was a in a and he was a and he realized it's for me to be a little bit knowing knowing what's waiting for me I'm just healing from the wrong the first and the second this is classic wise give me a hand I will stop here.
