Question

Adversity in life should make you better not bitter

Answer 1

Shakespeare has rightly said,"Sweet are the uses of adversity, which, like a toad, though ugly and venomous, wears yet a precious jewel in its head." So adversities are test of our character. It has been said that those whom God chooses to be blessed, he first tests their worthiness by sending adversities to them. Jesus had to face so many adversities before he rose to heaven! Helen Keller had to face adversities on every step she put forward. She fought her darkness, hearing and speech disabilities  and emerged as a better personality. Booker T Washington faced so many adversities and rose from being a slave to one of the most successful educationist in the world! Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther, Albert Einstein, all faced adversities and they never let them make them bitter. They made themselves better human beings and God blessed them with success in their fields. So we must sublimate our bitterness into betterment in the fire of adversities.
