BEST IMA, I’m not too concerned about trying to see the Revital story in the best possible light because I don’t believe it’s true. And, even if someone did write this letter while dying of cancer, it doesn’t mean that she even knows the reasons for it. But the fact is that (if one believes the letter is genuine) she believes that her hair catching on fire & cancer diagnosis were a punishment for her lack of tznius in dress/ behavior, as I wrote in my previous post.
I’m not a kid, and how I look to most people around me is not an issue I’m struggling with, so I don’t think I’m part of the “target audience” for the Revital story. But I also think that many of those who would benefit from hearing an appropriate story about tznius would not react to this one in a positive way. That’s not to say the story is inappropriate here, but rather that its appeal is not universal.
