[Avodah] A Heathen Expression

[Yitzchok Levine]

The following is from RSRH's commentary to Bereshis 42: 4. I found it 
a striking insight. YL

4 But Binyamin, Yosef 's brother, Ya'akov did not send with his 
brothers, for he said: An accident might befall him.

The common expression that something "happens" is a heathen 
expression. Nothing happens by itself; everything is designed by the 
Designer of all things.
Only man, by exercising his free and moral will, shapes his own destiny.
