Maror- Bitterness, when it is mixed with the sweetness of the charoset represents life in relative reality, a dualistic experience where the pairs of opposites always coexist. It reminds us of our ability to choose goodness, sweetness, light, beauty, joy, love, and be aware of the divine in every situation. Especially when we are in despair. 

Dip maror. in Charoset and Recite 

בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יי אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, אֲשֶׁר קִדְּשָנוּ בְּמִצְוֹתָיו וְצִוָּנוּ עַל אֲכִילַת מָרוֹר.

Praised are you, God, Ruler of the universe, who has taught us the way of holiness through commandments, commanding us to eat the bitter herb.
