Nisan-Fighting the Fire of Anger III

It chanced that the supper was laid later rather than earlier than usual.

The Chozeh said, “It would be natural for me to scold the people of my household for disobeying me. But I wished to gain time to please God. Shall I displease Him by becoming angry, and thereby doubling my loss? (Niflaot HaChozeh Lublin, page 21)
