We tend to acquire greater personal growth, insight, and compassion through adversity than when we are cruising comfortably through life, and we are in a better position to identify with and help others experiencing adversity after we have experienced it ourselves.
The good that people make from bad usually does not make the bad event “worthwhile,” but it can help people deal with their trauma and derive some meaning from it.
Most of us are inclined to strive to make the world a better, more caring place for ourselves and others, and many of us are motivated to produce a good result from a terrible event.
