Metaphysically done damage
There is a baraita that relates (Haggiga 3) that a student of Rabbi Eliezer met him and Rabbi Eliezer asked him what a hikugush was in the beit midrash. The student replied, "They counted and finished Ammon and Moab, tithing the poor in the seventh." Rabbi Eliezer responded in a strange way, he told him to open his eyes and accept your eyes, and the student did open his eyes and accept them (in short, he became blind).
I have difficulty understanding Rabbi Eliezer's behavior. Isn't there a problem here of a person driving his friend's car and then passing through the lav? The Gemara also does not raise this kenshi. In addition (the reference to the Litvak of Yonatan ben Uziel immediately arises), would he be liable for compensation for damage in this way?
The Gemara cites a baraita that says that after his mind settled, he prayed for his eyes and they returned to their place. Assuming that he had to pay for the injury, apparently he still has to pay for the sorrow, right?
Thank you very much.
P.S. There is a notable difference between Jonathan's vomit and the present case, in which in our case the sabotage was intentional.
