Adversity builds Character
If adversity builds character then that must explain why Jews are such characters. Our collective Jewish history is filled with adversity and struggle. Yet we continue on...
Recent adversity such as Hurrican Katrina, Iraq and the war on Terrorism that this country faces, we should face together as Americans. Will these events build our collective character? Only time will tell, but I am hopeful.
When do we rise above adversity? Is it when we face it head on and do everything within our powers to conquer it? Do we have the internal fortitude to accept those things that we cannot conquer and, based upon hope, faith and prayer marshal our strength and continue on?
We all experience adversity at one time or another. Whether it is through school, career/business, family, health issues, loss of a loved one; how we deal with adversity tells us alot about who we are and what we are made of. Adversity certainly does build character. I should know, because, ask my wife, I am one h-ll of a character.
Shalom. Jeremy
