RE: Steemed out MEME
The knuckle was shredded up and so I just found out that they can't reattach it. Poor guy indeed, but you're right, thank G-d it wasn't the whole thing.
Sounds like you got away with a warning and a memory/tikkun...
This is all so mind boggling to me, I just can't make sense of it in a weird, literally visceral way. It's nothing compared to what he must feel, but I actually picked up a severed finger today...
cripes.. it happens "accidents", sometimes no rhyme or reason. If we don't know why it happened.. is it really a tikkun? Perhaps he was using the finger wrong in a past life? Or maybe this one.. but that requires self reflection I guess.
All great questions for us to ponder. I think it is a tikkun even if we can't see the reason. In fact, I once asked about how to do tikkunim for specific aveiros, and was told something along the lines of;
"Don't worry about specific tikkunim or sins, but just keep doing all/as many mitzvot as possible, so as not to miss anything. You'll make tikkunim this way."
So I guess in the same way suffering in general is a tikkun, this is too. You are right though, there is a chance for deeper teshuvah/corrections/connections with awareness and reflection though... Maybe it does relate to the finger itself, but as you imply, only he could know...
