Thanks sam4321, those are real gems i can use by the Y”T table.
I heard once from my rov, why is it that the letters for EMES is hinted at only at the END of the words and not at the BEGINNING? So he said beautifully, that sometimes, us humans unfortunately see the EMES and perceive the rightousness of Hashem only at the END. Sometimes we can view a situation or an event and think, Whoa, how can Hashem allow something like THIS to happen?? And perhaps only a day later he can see the TOV and good that results from that very “bad” that we “thought” we saw. Sometimes a week, sometimes even years, and sometimes only after our lifetime. But one thing is certain, Chosomo Shel HKB”H is Emes.
We see it in Parshas beraishis. Kayin kills Hevel. So one might say, poor Hevel, he was a tzaddik, did nothing wrong, why did he deserve such a fate?? And Kayin, he lives on and has desendants??!
The Chasam sofer says that Moshe Rabbeinu was actually a gilgul, and his neshama had sparks of both Hevel and Shem. (Moshe’s name hints to this: Mem=Moshe, Shin=Shem, Hey=Hevel).
So although Hevel was murdered prematurely, his neshama came back in the form of Moshe Rabbeinu, the greatest Navi! His greatness and memory lives on forever! Kayin on the other hand may have had grandchildren in the short run, but all perished in the Mabul years later. They also say Sheyss was a gilgul of Hevel, his brother, and from him came Noach, Avrohom, etc.
So we see our shortsightedness, and Emes of Hashem sometimes can only be seen Acharis Kichlos Hakol, at the END and not right away in the beginning.
