Today’s Talmud page, Bava Kama 103 begins by explaining that a robber must travel across the world in order to repay a debt for something they stole, indicating that they are not able to send someone else to repay it, or give it to a family member instead of directly to the person they stole from. But then, they say that a debt can be paid by giving it to an agent of the court. This piece of Talmud teaches us of the importance of repentance, but also teaches us that we should not make it so difficult that one cannot attain forgiveness.
