You should live and be well ~ Zolst leben un zein gezunt.
And have a Happy Passover, Chag Pesach Sameach.
Oh yeah, and be like a matza!
Bread, chametz, is blown up matza. It is matza that went overboard and became "wild".What is, after all, the essential difference between [the two]? They are made from exactly the same ingredients. It is only the speed that makes the difference between the two. If the dough is baked quickly you get matza. However, if the dough is left for a while, it will rise and after being baked turns into bread.
The only real difference between the two is therefore hot air. An ingredient of no real substance!
And it is this ... which makes bread look powerful in comparison to matza. It rises, becoming haughty, making the impression that it consists of a great amount of substance and abundance while in reality it mainly consists of hot air.
Bread, then, is an arrogant matza.... it symbolizes the evil inclination since it is the attitude of haughtiness, blowing oneself up beyond one's real self which leads to undesirable acts that causes man to go astray. It is the source of all transgressions. Would a human being be humble, he or she would not contemplate doing anything wrong. Only arrogance leads man to undesirable deeds.
The matza ... is humble, there is no attempt to make more of itself than what it really contains: plain dough.
Consequently the art achieving real life is to be like a matza in a world of chametz.
