Trials have always been part of human life. I don't think I've ever met a person who hasn't faced a challenge in one form or another. But why do we have these trials? Is it a necessary part of life? Most people would say yes as it would make one a better person. Would it?
People trying to be positive in the face of adversity might say there are people out there with worse problems than themselves. Is that the truth? Or is it a relative kind of thing? People react to problems differently and people are uniquely equipped to handle the same kind of situation in a different way. Perception is unique for each individual.
Depending on the situation or should I say the person, a trial in life might bring families together or tear them apart. Some might try and isolate themselves, others might thrive with the company of friends, still others might become bitter, some even violent where others might be accepting.
Is it the situation that makes a person or is it the person who makes the situation better or worse? Or is it all a matter of faith?
