vort for parshas shmos

Parshas Hashavua
Shemos


The Gemoro (Sotah 11a) says, during the discussion of 讛讘讛 谞转讞讻诪讛 诇讜 Pharoh had 3 advisors.

1) 
讘诇注诐 who advised him to go ahead and kill the boys ended up being killed himself.

2) 讗讬讜讘 who kept quiet was punished with 讬住讜专讬 讗讬讜讘.

3) 讬转专讜 who ran away was rewarded that his grandchildren sat in the 诇砖讻转 讛讙讝讬转 (Sanhedrin)

If 讬转专讜 was rewarded for running away it is obvious that he could not have changed the situation. Otherwise, he should have stayed and changed Pharoh's mind.

If so, then why was 讗讬讜讘 punished and why so severely?

R. Chaim Shmulevitz Zt"l answered, " 讗讜讬讘 注住 讟讜讟 讜讜讬讬, 砖专讬讬讟 诪注谉" If it hurts then you scream.

The fact that he stayed on and was able to keep quiet proved that it didn't hurt him while his brethren were suffering. For this, such severe punishment is in order.

Supposedly a similar answer was given by one of the Brisker Roshei Yeshiva who said, that 讗讬讜讘 held that since he anyhow won't be able to make any changes to Pharoh's decision so why make noises about it.

Hashem showed 讗讬讜讘 that the same way if someone
bangs himself and gets hurt he screams "Ouch" even though it won't reduce the pain or change the situation.
So too he should have  screamed to Pharoh "Ouch" even if it won't help or change the situation.
