Commento su Giobbe 3:20

לָ֤מָּה יִתֵּ֣ן לְעָמֵ֣ל א֑וֹר וְ֝חַיִּ֗ים לְמָ֣רֵי נָֽפֶשׁ׃

Con ciò è data la luce a lui che è nella miseria, e la vita all'amaro nell'anima—

Rashi on Job

Why does He give (the giver, i.e., the Holy One, blessed be He.)

Malbim on Job

But not everyone suffers all the time. There are some who are successful and happy and enjoy life. However, the distribution is random and indiscriminate and so their joy is either at the expense of others or a snare to themselves. The sunrise, at which they rejoice, marks the start of another day of drudgery for the manual worker forced to labor. The life that the fortunate enjoy others hate. The wheel of fortune raises a man's spirits only to crush him cruelly afterwards.

the toiler light He who grew up with toil and trouble—why did He give him perpetual light and not slay him at birth?
