There was a famous Slonimer Chosid, a big Tzaddik, his name was R’ Matis Luria, זכר צדיק לברכה. When he got married and he started raising children, they felt they needed a new dresser. They purchased a new dresser, and in those days, just like today, the whole door was covered with a huge mirror. There are some Chasidim that are Makpid, that they try not to look into a mirror, so R’ Matis was bothered. But his wife told him: We need it, the children need it. So for the Kavod of his wife, for the honor of his wife, for the sake of his wife, he didn't say anything. After 40 years, she was Niftar. The day after he got up from Shiva, he asked his children to order movers. Please take the dresser out. It bothered me always.
