Question: Which is more important: to be happy with the revelation of evil or to ask for a way out of Egypt?

Answer: The joy of revealing evil is not yet a finished action. And the request to leave Egypt is already a more conscious state.

The children of Israel cried out to the Creator to bring them out of Egypt. At the same time their similarity to Him was that they wanted to get out of their state and achieve the opposite: liberation from egoism.

Question: If we feel bad and we try to escape from this place, does it also come from the ego?

Answer: A place is a desire. We try to escape from egoistic desire, to make efforts, and to ask the Creator to help us do this. To our weak efforts, like those of a small child, the Creator gives His help, and then our efforts turn into action. This is how we ascend the steps of the spiritual ladder to the Creator.
