Living knowledge and immediate feeling is not easy to convey in a dry presentation of ideas and concepts. Also, not all people are willing to accept lofty talk of morality and ethics. Therefore, since Talmudic times often taken to express the most complex ideas in the form of a parable. Chafetz Chaim was a master of the genre, his parables and teachings he is clothed in the brightest images and filled the deepest sense. Lying before you book - it's a parable, collected from more than twenty books and fully disclose to the reader the personality of this great man.
A fragment from the book:
22 Excuses rebelled against the king Sometimes the evil inclination seduces the man, telling him: "It's not one I'm in town doing so, as will the rest of the city's residents, who shave their beards, so it will be with me."
This is reminiscent of a story. Some people suspected that he planned a revolt against the king. He proznal that soon will lead him to the court, and began to think: how could he deflect the suspicion and to show the judges that he just slandered? What do you think, will he judges himself to say: "I am not guilty, I'm not involved in this one?" Of course, he immediately answered: "Our prison is rather large, it will be enough room for you, and for the remaining rebels and villains."
So it is here. It is known that the places in hell a lot as our entire world - much less than one thousandth of hell, as our sages said the Talmud in Tractate Pesachim, 94. So what the hell can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people, and among them will be many hundreds of miles away, so that none of them will neither see nor hear the other. We'll have each of them alone to cry and cry, "Woe is me, woe!" Where he will be. And there will include all those who knowingly violate the desire of B-ra blessed, rebelling against Him.
