Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow: (8 Marks)

1. The tests of life are its plus factors. Overcoming illness and suffering is a plus

factor for it moulds character. Steel is iron plus fire, soil is rock plus heat. So lets

include the plus factor in our lives.

2. Sometimes the plus factor is more readily seen by the simple hearted. Myers tells

the story of a mother who brought into her home – as a companion to her own

son- a little boy who happened to have a hunch back. She had warned her son to

be careful, not to refer to his disability. The boys were playing and after a few

minutes she overheard her son say to his companion “ Do you know what you

have got on your back ?” The little boy was embarrassed, but before he could

reply, his playmate continued “ It is the box in which your wings are, and some

day God is going to cut it open and then you will fly away and be an angel.”

3. Often it takes a third eye or a change in focus, to see the plus factor. Walking

along the corridors of a hospital recently where patients were struggling with fear

of pain and tests, I was perturbed. What gave me a fresh perspective were the

sayings put up everywhere, intended to uplift. One saying made me conscious of

the beauty of the universe in the midst of pain, suffering and struggle. The other

saying assured me that God was with me when I was in deep water and that no

troubles would overwhelm me.

4. The import of those sayings also made me aware of the nether springs that flow

into people’s lives when they touch rock bottom or are lonely or guilt ridden. The

nether springs make recovery possible, and they bring peace and patience in the

midst of negative forces.

5. The forces of death and destruction are not so much physical as they are psychic

and psychological. When malice, hatred and hard heartedness prevail, they get

channeled as forces of destruction. Where openness, peace and good heartedness

prevail, the forces of life gush forth to regenerate hope and joy. The life force is

triumphant when love overcomes fear. Both fear and love are deep mysteries, but

the effect of love is to build, whereas fear tends to destroy. Love is generally the

plus factor that helps build character. It creates bonds and its reach is infinite.

6. It is true there is no shortage of destructive elements – forces and people who seek

to destroy others and in the process destroy themselves – but at the same time

there are signs of love and life everywhere that are constantly enabling us to

overcome setbacks. So lets not look at gloom and doom – let us seek positivity

and happiness. For it is when you seek that you will find what is waiting to be

discovered
