Shinjin - Hai.

Re: Shinjin - Hai.

I'm not convinced that the hardships exist to strengthen us.

How do the hardships make us stronger? Is this universally true? Some people just end up broken by them or forever changed by them - and not in a positive way.

For me it comes to choice what we choose to do and how we choose to respond to whatever we are faced with and faith helps to affirm life and turn away from death and despair.

Oh I agree, but I am talking about the psychology behind it.

If you BELIEVE that it makes you stronger, would it be less hard to bare, is essentially what I am saying.

I do however have to say some things have changed my views on life drastically, some in a good way, other's a bit less.
