THE LEPER AND THE PERVERT

AFTER DISCUSSING THE LEPER=THE ONE WHO SETS HIMSELF APART FROM SOCIETY, THE ONE WHO CAN CRITICIZE BUT HIMSELF IS ABOVE CRITICISM, THE TORAH TALKS IN COUCHED TERMS ABOUT THE PERVERT.
THIS IS THE ZAV. WHAT IS A ZAV? ONE WHO HAS CONTRACTED VENEREAL DISEASE.THE TORAH IMPLIES THAT DUE TO SEXUAL DEVIANCE CERTAIN DISEASES BECOME RAMPANT. THESE INCLUDE THE SYMPTOMS OF VENEREAL PROBLEMS BOTH MALE AND FEMALE.
THE TORAH IS ALSO CLEAR THAT BY KEEPING THE MIKVAH LAWS THESE PROBLEMS CAN BE AVOIDED.
IT IS A FACT THAT UP UNTIL 2 GENERATIONS AGO THERE WERE CERTAIN TYPES OF WOMAN'S CANCER THAT DID NOT OCCUR IN JEWISH WOMEN. RESEARCHERS IDENTIFIED THE AVOIDANCE OF RELATIONS DURING THE MENSES AS WELL AS THE CLEANSING PROCESS AS BEING THE MOST LIKELY REASON FOR THESE CANCERS NOT TO APPEAR AMONGST JEWISH WOMEN.
TODAY THIS HAS CHANGED,HOWEVER THOSE WHO STILL KEEP THEIR MOTHERS' WAYS STILL HAVE THE SAME RESULTS. WHILE DIFFERENT THEORIES ABOUND THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT JEWISH LIFE AND TRADITIONAL VALUES DO HELP US EVEN IN MUNDANE MATTERS.
THE PERVERT IS DISTINCT FROM THE LEPER SO WHY IS HE INCLUDED IN THE SECTION ABOUT THE LEPER? BECAUSE WHEN A PERSON LOOKS DOWN AT OTHERS
HE BECOMES THE LAW IN HIS MIND. IN SUCH A STATE THE LEPER BECOMES THE PERVERT! PERHAPS NOT IN THE FULL FLEDGED SENSE . THE LEPER BELIEVES THAT ONLY HIS WAY IS RIGHT. IN ESSENCE HE CREATES HIS OWN MORALITY . IN TRUTH MOST OFTEN HIS MORES ARE A PERVERSION OF THE TRUTH. AS SUCH HE IS THE PERVERT FOR HE HAS PERVERTED THE LAW OF G-D FOR HIS OWN RULES!
AS SUCH HE CAN EASILY SUCCUMB TO DEVIANT BEHAVIOR FOR HE HAS AN EXCUSE FOR EVERYTHING HE DOES. FOR HIS WAYS ARE TRUTH AND GOODNESS-NOT YOURS OR MINE. HIS SPIN IS THE ONLY CORRECT ONE. IT IS TO HIS STANDARDS THAT ALL ARE TO BE MEASURED. THIS IS SPIRITUAL PERVERSION WHICH IS FAR WORSE THAN THE IGNORANT INDULGENT!
