Categories of Permission

1. Permitted and Balanced

  1. Halakhically sound
  2. Ecologically sustainable
  3. Magically restrained

No teshuvah required

2. Permitted But Costly

  1. Allowed, but causes harm or extraction
  2. Often unavoidable in modern life

Teshuvah is required (Tzedakah, restoration, or harm reduction elsewhere)

3. Prohibited but Repairable

  1. Violates obligations or mitzvot
  2. Causes non-lasting harm to others
  3. Isn't irredeemable in nature

Teshuvah and Tikkun are required (Confession, cessation, restitution, and changed behavior)

4. Prohibited and Irreparable

  1. Violates obligation and mitzvah
  2. Causes lasting ecological or spiritual damage
  3. Silences life or destroys systems

Never justified. Never sanctified; No prayer cleanses this. No magic redeems it.
