The reason why sacrifices were offered for unintentional misdeeds is because our deepest interests and aspirations, as well as our most intimate cares and concerns, are revealed specifically by our impulsive actions. It is through these actions that our “subconscious” self involuntarily surfaces. We do not need to atone for the misdeed itself, since it was done unintentionally. What we need to atone for is all the previous conduct and laxity that molded our inner selves into someone whose interests run contrary to G‑d’s will and who spontaneously rejected it.
In this light, our unintentional misdeeds warrant greater atonement than our intentional ones, for unintentional deeds indicate that we have a deep, subconscious attachment to a type of behavior that is contrary to G‑d’s will. Intentional misdeeds do not necessarily indicate that we suffer from this hidden flaw.1
Good🌻Morning,
The "Law" exposes our sin (lawlessness), our transgressions, and our need for GD's Mercy, Grace, and Forgiveness. Therefore; I must ask GD for forgiveness, the strength to control, and to overcome areas that have become an iniquity. The law (light) is the benchmark that exposes the violations of our attitudes, actions, neglect, and intent that is committed in darkness (sin) when we examine it and are truthful with ourselves. One of the reasons that I love GD is because He is longsuffering with us and is willing to help us be our best selves and draw us closer to Him.
Baruch HaShem,
