Reply To: Chidushim on Daf Yomi

It says Shmos (13,21) וַה’ הֹלֵךְ֩ לִפְנֵיהֶ֨ם יוֹמָ֜ם בְּעַמּ֤וּד עָנָן֙ לַנְחֹתָ֣ם הַדֶּ֔רֶךְ וְלַ֛יְלָה בְּעַמּ֥וּד אֵ֖שׁ לְהָאִ֣יר לָהֶ֑ם לָלֶ֖כֶת יוֹמָ֥ם וָלָֽיְלָה Hashem went before them by day with a pillar of cloud to lead them on the way and by night with the pillar of fire, so they could travel day and night. Says the Ksav Sofer, when it is going good or bad a person should realize that it comes from Hashem.
It is up to Him to provide good or c’v bad.
When Hashem provides good, think of the dark cloud (it can turn bad) to live your life, and when it is bad, think of light of fire (it can turn good), so you will live well both when it is going good or bad.
The Chasan Sofer says on the Hagadah that we should always keep matzoh and maror in front of us.
