Adversities Afflict
We have no right to ask when sorrow comes, "Why did this happen to me?" unless we ask the same question for every moment of happiness that comes our way. ~Author UnknownAdversities afflict us in all forms and ways, and most of them are inevitable. How I wish that it would be easier to dismiss or postpone them when they come, least expected. Was Abraham Lincoln right when he said , “Nearly all men can stand adversity,…?” Probably, only a few; for many of us fail. We succumb.
Adversities can be overcome. A person with a positive disposition, will power, character, and patience can. People with positive attitude see ugly and difficult situations in the lens of a half-filled glass; hence they find opportunities in crisis and problems. Those with strong will power and patience endure adversities without giving-up hope. And those with character take adversities as life’s way on inculcating valuable lessons.
I’d like to have all.
How about you?

Great post. It's definitely a test of character to go through testing and trials in a way that builds our character. I can't say I have been too successful in this regard, but I can learn with each adversity how to weather it more gracefully, more flexibily, and with more character.
