  While going on his mission to save the yidden in Mitzrayim

  Moshe postponed the bris of Eliezer because a specific command to go overrode the pre-Mattan Torah obligation to circumcise. However when he continued to postpone while arranging lodgings he was attacked by a snake who almost killed him. 

  Moshe didn't even complain about almost being killed for his negligence.  It was Tzipporah that both saved the day with a quick bris and she who complained that her husband was almost killed (verses repeated at every bris).

  The Akeida is also not on all fours with the extra suffering by the yidden in Mitzrayim

  Because the extra suffering of the yidden in Mitzrayim was actual, whereas the command to sacrifice Yitzchak was never actualized but only theoretical and potential

  Moshe complained that it now got worse

  After Moshe confronted Pharoah, Pharoah made it worse by compelling the yidden to gather their own straw but not reduce the quota of bricks. As a result babies were immured in the walls. This obviously seems much worse.

  But.....this was Hashem's way of removing those babies who were destined for bad. When Moshe complained about this Hashem told Moshe to save one baby and then see what happens.  The saved baby was Micah who later takke did bad.

  So .....what appears to be a worsening,  can actually be a betterment like any yorida before aliyah.

  Two types of complaints

  1. A person can complain to a perp who causes him damage or suffering.  That's normal.  

  2. Or, a person can complain to a perp about the damage or suffering done to ANOTHER!. Moshe was complaining about the increased suffering done to others, namely the yidden. Though he's complaining, it's surely the type of complaining to defend and advocate for  others that Hashem relishes and was the reason He chose Moshe like the story about the thirsty sheep.

  Hashem grieved fir and missed the Avos who didn't complain

  What does this mean when we know that Hashem, who created time, is above time. For Him, the Avos are alive and their conduct, including not complaining is everlasting. How can Hashem "miss" them and their conduct?

  Very fitting that the story about the "maylis" of simple Tehillim

  Is in a sicha on Va'era that this Shabbos is Shabbos Mevorchim.

  The Maggid saw in his vision that sometimes the body can just react

  And it's not so bad. So it wasn't so bad that he with the other tzaddikim were condescending to the simple yidden the Baal Shem Tov brought close. 

  How far does this forbearance go?

  With Dathan and Aviram last week there was no actual hitting but only a raising of the hand. Is such a threat or attempted hitting also to have forbearance? Do all reactions of the body deserve understanding and forbearance? Aren't some bodily reactions ruled out of line by halacha?
