VaYishlach: "try to imaginine how we might act under similar circumstances. The image that comes to mind is one of a very machmir Rabbi reading my words, and slamming down his fist upon the desk. I understand that the avos Avraham, Yitzchak, and Yakov, were on a a much higher madraga then we can even claim to have the most basic understanding of. However, how else can we learn from our forefathers if we do not seek to imagine how we might react in trheir place.
For example:
Yakov was astute, he paid attention to how people of his day tended to spin things.
The above is a positive staement about Yakov's character, he was not concerned about public opionion on an egotisitical platform, rather he was concerned that at some point family/smamily at some point Yakov might simply overstay his welcome."
