A mixture of anger and joy when the temple was built:[1]
We find regarding the building of the first Temple that on that day when King Solomon sang Shir Hashirim that there was such great joy as was not experienced since the world was created, as the divine presence filled the entire Temple. At the same time, the verse states that God was upset and angry at King Solomon for having married the daughter of Pharaoh. Hence we find the concept of having two emotions which contradict each other existing at the same time, the emotion of joy and the emotion of anger. This came about due to the creation of the world of Tikkun which allows incorporation of various opposing attributes.
