We're continuing on the topic of geneva and the fact that a ganav pays gnefil, double the value of what he stole, versus a gazlan that doesn't, that pays 100%.
Paragraph A, we were speaking about the fact that when it comes to a person drawing daas, there's one phase involved, one major step involved.
When it comes to drawing pranasa, there are two phases involved that Rav Nosazal spoke about, and he's going to continue explaining and clarifying this.
It's because of this specifically, which we just explained in the previous paragraph, that the Gemara makes a point of saying that earning a livelihood is twice as difficult as giving birth, which means it requires 140 screams.
Al-Khaim, and this explains also why the Pasuk says in Koheles, Most people don't leave the world having achieved half, even 50% of their desire.
Because Parnassah comes with such great difficulty, so much pain, double that of a woman giving birth.
And after all of that effort, the person puts in all of that effort for eternal living.
Because after everything the Pesach had said, all he achieved was half of his efforts.
Again, this is a continuation from the previous year where Rav Nosazar went into this in depth.
And now he is, I also heard from Rabbi Nazar, which is brought in the second book of Likutey Maran, chapter 40, regarding what the Gemara says about this passage, that most people die not having achieved even half of their desire, referring to money, per nosa wealth, Rabbein, as I said regarding this, there's a concept of a double portion, a double shefa.
And if a person, if and when a person is to this double portion, that person is saved, is removed from what the other posse said, that the person doesn't leave the world with having achieved even half of what he wanted.
Because this person was to what's called double portion, which means 100% in this case.
The reason why we say generally a person doesn't even achieve half is because the struggle to achieve it is called double half.
