When he comes to the World of Truth, he will find that all the words which he heard and spoke were recorded. He will have to account for everything. It is evident from this parsha that suffering atones for our sins. Since we all have our bundle, the prudent thing to do would be to find some painless means that would accomplish the same goal. Sin happens when one forgets or is oblivious to the fact that there is a Creator Who runs the world.
Nothing drives the message home more clearly than when a person undergoes suffering.
Pain draws a person closer to the realization that what happens in this world is not in our hands. The recipient of suffering learns a penetrating lesson from his hardship. The Chafetz Chaim indicates just the solution. When one has been ridiculed, he should immediately contemplate what he has to gain by not responding. He should imagine for a moment the fire of Gehennom which is sixty times hotter than our hottest fire.
