"If there is no struggle there is no progress" Frederick Douglass

Is it possible for us to see the good within the bad? Can we see that when we struggle, there is something better at the end? I don't think we do. We focus so much on the negative that we do not see what in order to progress forwards sometimes we need to really struggle. We want to be able to progress throughout life smoothly without any troubles, but that is not always the case and when it's not we crumble. Are we honestly that fragile?

We spend so much time afraid of having to face hardship that I wonder if the fear of the hardship is worse than the hardship itself. But regardless we have to go through them to progress from one stage in life to another.
