can't just say "fuck them all" & do your own thing. 
have to follow the court, 
even if they are wrong.

credible & thoughtful confessions of thoughtless behaviour.

behaviour that was meant to repair, and not destroy.
but not everything can be remedied.

God's name can't stand out and time may have passed.
and it is too late to make ammends.

moed katan 27

everyone is the same in death
rich, poor, pure, impure
all will rot, all will smell
all are mortal
all will die

so why tell the grieving mother to stop crying?

after the destruction the fruit will also disappear from jerusalem.
but the eggs status remain the same.

everyone who lives within 1 day walk of Jerusalem had to bring their 4th year fruit had to Jerusalem, to keep the markets stocked with fruit. after the destruction this no longer happened. Rabban Yochanan b. Zakkai did not revoke the decree about eggs laid on rosh hashana, but kept it in place, as the Temple might be rebuilt and not confuse as the egg was eaten last year.
