[Avodah] SHOMER PESA'IM HASHEM

[Cantor Wolberg]

The following relates to the link that R' Micha gave: http://www.dafyomi.co.il/azarah/insites/az-dt-30.htm
The concept of Shomer Pesa'im Hashem only applies to people who cannot  
help themselves.
As any psychologist or psychiatrist will tell you, there are people  
sufficiently disturbed mentally
where they cannot be held responsible (as we would) for committing  
suicide. My question is:
Why didn't HaShem protect them?  To answer He only protects fools but  
not mentally ill people would
not be a satisfactory answer in our enlightened day and age. Also, to  
commit suicide is certainly a foolish act,
so why wouldn't shomer pesaim HaShem come into play?

P.S. After understanding the concept of SPH, I understand why I'm  
still alive.
