POINTS TO PONDER Sometimes unpleasant situations prove to be blessings in disguise. The situation acts as a sieve. It separates real friends from fair whether friends and loyalist from the pretenders, it also separates the make believe from the truth, the gold from the glitter. Unpleasant situations test your strength to sustain the situation, the courage to take the situation head-on, the wisdom of how to untie the complicated knots. It also tests your tenacity to sustain the turbulence due to the situation itself, and added side effects of the sifting that happens. It makes you stronger when you take it in your stride, the hurt of the learning of that sifting process. In a nutshell.. unpleasant situations are not so unpleasant anyway..... they do not go away without giving you something..
