The difference between money and physical pain

שו”תCategory: Talmudic studyThe difference between money and physical pain

In the Gemara of Bava Kama, the last chapter, it is explained that if a court messenger says that a person refuses to come to trial, they are to be condemned.
But they don’t write because it’s impossible to spend the writer’s salary based on this loyalty. How is it possible to shame a person with such immense shame?
And write on it that it is appropriate
It is possible according to the court messenger.
Sharashi explains that there is a presumption that he is not lying.
And spending a penny of the writer’s salary is impossible.
Is it the decree of Scripture that wealth is more serious than sorrow of heart?

See Prisha 61:2, which commented on this. To spend money in their presence, two witnesses.
You can also ask about a person who is faithful to the prohibitions, since he can testify that some meat is prey enough for one person, even though it causes a financial loss for its owner.
This is not a question of how important it is to a person, but of the laws of evidence in Halacha.
