One Rabbi I listened to online talked about G-d's strict measures. And how some people read it and think it's over the top. But he asks a very sharp question.
Q: What's worse than extremely strict parents who punish you for your infractions, even if they don't seem like a big deal?
A: Parents who don't give a damn and never punish you for anything you do.
God seems to be very into "Okay, we'll see about that."
Learning the hard way sure isn't fun. But it's definitely taught me a lot.
