Rise Up

The yetzer harah is the שאור שבעיסה, by fighting against it, one rises.  It is there to help one rise up when one fights against.

From the חסד לאברהם (Rodamsk)












This is why the Haggadah must be said דרך שאלה ותירץ because it is only through the questions, the difficulties, the challenges, that redemption comes.  That is the idea of מתחיל בגנות ומסיים בשבח.  By not ignoring or glossing over the failures, the setbacks, but seeing them as a progression to the future, is there a סיום of שבח (see Pachad Yitzchak maamer 17.)
