Pokdi Is not punishment more like legacy or maybe karma

We are still suffering from cheit adam harishon and from cheit hameraglim
and from cheit ho'egel.

AISI it is not retribution so much as the lingering after affect.

Lemashal
A person eats a treif hot dog because it was temptingly delicious.
Poof he has repeated adam harishon's cheit and so he is reviving it.

A person is given a gift and he berates it. Poof he has revived cheit
meraglim via dibbah

A person is unfaithful or disloyal to HKBH or to torah poof cheit ho'egel
is revived.

I heard vesheim the gra say peshat on din vocheshbon:

Din is din
Cheshbon is the legacy or aftermath:

So if a father skips minyan his din is x
If his son grows up and skips minyan a lot due to that one time he gets
cheshbo even after missah! (Fwiw This is my YK yizkor drasha)

Now the din can be spread out only 4 doros. Cheshbon on fundamental
prototypical aveiros can linger for a while.

Lemashal my son broke his ankle. Pain was for several days healing
takes a long time. The bone is fine after 6 weeks but reidual soft
tissue damage can take much longer.

Solution? Intense teshuva!
