Adversity, if for no other reason, is of benefit, since it is sure to bring a season of sober reflection. People see clearer at such times. Storms purify the atmosphere.

About This Quote

The world is full of suffering. If you don’t believe me, just look at the world around you. But suffering has a purpose. It brings to the surface what is in us that needs to be cleaned out. It’s not easy to recognize what we need to change, but it’s even harder not to recognize it after suffering hard times.
