I keep reading updates on the condition of R' Elyashiv. He's in very bad shape, and the doctors are working hard trying to save him. What I'm going to say will shock many people, but I will ask it anyway: when will you let go?
When we daven for a sick person, the first thing we ask for is mercy. We say Hashem should have mercy and heal the person. Mercy comes before healing. One recent report I read said that R' Elyashiv was in excruciating pain. Why subject him to this? He's 102 years old. He's been in the hospital for over a month already in critical condition. The doctors don't really have any hope for him - they believe they're just postponing the inevitable. So why prolong the pain? Sometimes the merciful thing to do is to let someone go.

Your statement is only shocking to someone inside the Yeshivish cult that cannot comprehend of a world without him running the show.
Despite the fact that i consider myself to be basically a philosophizer i could not call what the yeshivot are doing as a cult. maybe Lakewood but not the others.
I complain about them all the time because i want them to be better. But I dont think they are cults.
