ease or adversity As a Chinese ancient saying goes, survive in adversity, die in ease. It is saying that you could only go through different difficulties of living after you faced many adversities. If you not, you will be like a flower in warm greenhouse, die immediately after explosure to nature circumstance. I totally agree with this saying. I think adversities draw amounts of colors on pictures of your life. Without trainning in these miseries, without post-traumatic growth. People are easily become naive, indifferent, arrogant and greedy. I've seen many these types of persons around me. I think adversities could make people humble, respecting life, full of sympathy.
