Adversity
Life has its good and bad moments, some rougher than others, but how we deal with the hard times molds us into better images of ourselves.
How we cope with setbacks, misfortune, and hardships varies from person to person. Not facing a dire situation in the short term may impact our mental health in the long term.
Individuals mired in poverty and despair may rise above the muck by pursuing intensive studies, elevating their social and economic status. J.D. Vance outlines his upbringing and emergence in Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis.
If there were no night, we would not appreciate the day, nor could we see the stars and the vastness of the heavens. We must partake of the bitter with the sweet. There is a divine purpose in the adversities we encounter every day. They prepare, they purge, they purify, and thus they bless. ~ James E. Faust
