Charoses

According to the Gemora, Charoses is a "mitzvah". Now what kind of a Mitzvah is this?
The reason given for this obligation is to dip the Marror into the charoses that looks like the mud used as mortar for bricks. The symbolism of this act is that we were embittered by the work with the mud-bricks. If that is the case then why is it such a Mitzvah? It's only a reminder amongst several.
There are those in the Gemora that say the charoses had to be sour in order to either negate the bitternes of the Marror Alternatively the sour wine taste killed the insect larva that resided in the Marror .
According to this opinion it's not used as a reminder but as a neutralizer. The first reason makes the Charoses as a part of the commemorative effect of the Marror.In other words the first opinion makes the Charoses as part of and strengthening the Marror . The second opinion says it weakens it! So who is right ?And why is it a mitzvah?
as mentioned before,the marror is primarily the romaine lettuce. the reason it is called marror or bitters is because it was used as the bitter medicine of the ancient world! as such the romaine lettuce represents the idea that all that is bitteris really for a Tikkun or correction . the bitternessis only temporary. for even death is not permanent as we believe in the eternity of the soul.
however, the taste of the medicine is bitter indicating that corrective measures are unpleasant even if they are necessary. this is why the charoses is supportive of the Marror even while negating its' effect. the mud for the bricks and mortar represented a humiliating and painful part of our history. However, during that tragic period , the women of Israel remained faithful to their men. in fact this fidelity is confirmed 3 times in the Torah at various junctures. Usually in periods of suffering women are not only prey to the tyrants, they seek out their favor. In Egypt
the women shunned their tormentors. Only one women violated her chastity and she did so by coercion .
the charoses is made up of fruits that remind one of Israel especially the apple. For it was in the apple orchards that the women were able to cohabit with their mates even while they came ostensibly only to feed them their one meal a day . this fidelity at the apple orchard is commemorated by making the charoses with apples and other such fruits that were their in the
fields where they had to pick their straw and make their fill of bricks. this is why the charoses is mostly sweet because although the Egyptians intended that the long hours of work would prevent having Hebrew Children, the women did otherwise. instead of bitters it turned out
sweet! Firstly because the women remained faithful and secondly G-d blessed their efforts with children.
thus the Charoses negated the bitterness of the bondage even while the work itself was bitter,
albeit for a good purpose. Thus the Charoses is a Mitzvah because it strengthens our faith in Divine Providence.We learn that disappointment and pain are really for our best interest. Even more so , by not giving in to evil we are blessed with children who will not only fight evil,they will live to destroy it!

the work was bitter but brought out the goodness of our souls . thus in the end the charoses =bricks were really sweet and negated the bitterness of Pharaoh!
