The Torah sternly warns us against misjudging another's actions negatively. But likewise, living with a blind eye in this tough world is also fraught with problems.

For instance, can a family member serve you a coke from a refrigerator that has a light sensor? Is it okay for them to turn off the television set for you, even if you never asked them to do so? And what about the problem of milk and meat, with all the possible mess-ups that can (and will) occur.

Hear how Rav Berkovits weaves the spiritual and physical aspects of suffering into the larger mosaic of reward and punishment.
