Hardships - difficult times, call it by any name always leaves an aftermath either destroying you and making bitter or melting your heart and making you a kinder person.
I have always wondered what was the purpose of negative incidents in our lives. Nobody invites painful or unpleasant experiences into their life and given a choice we all would love to live in a blissful state all our lives. Except for some enlightened souls , we are all affected by the unpleasant events in our lives. Whether we like it or not,painful events and disappointments are a part of our lives. I don't care about us inviting troubles subconsciously or not, troubles will always find us.
Uncomfortable and situations that are beyond our control tests our limitations as human being. I am talking about everyday disappointments, everyday struggles, struggles that age us, burdens if not disposed of ,stinks and becomes a dead weight in our travel towards our final destination. All these experiences speak to us, give depth to our characters and in their own way evolves us to be more compassionate and empathetic towards others.
Every negative incident teaches us a lesson, a lesson to be a better person. We have the choice to keep our eyes and heart open and be attuned to what message is encoded in the incident. Some life-changing incidents like losing a person you love, might not seem to have any positive intonation at all, but when you look back and make the best of what you experience, you will realize it has made you more empathetic. I know it has made me a better person, a person who realizes that no matter how safe and cocooned you are feeling when the times are good,you are vulnerable to difficult times anytime and without any notice.
