The Torah says Kibud Av V’Eim and Shluach Hakan will bring arichas yomim. Is that absolute? Can you show me someone who had kibud av v’eim or did shluach hakan that unfortunately did not have arichas yomim? If you can, does that disprove that shluach hakan brings arichas yomim (which logically makes no sense)?
Seforim mention various actions bring certain results. That’s the rule. Finding an exception to the rule does not disprove the rule. So what if it isn’t absolute? It’s still worth following.
Will someone stop eating healthy because it isn’t absolute that eating healthy will insure a person stays healthy?
