529 Words Essay on Sweet Are the Uses of Adversity

Emotions
Most of us used to hear from our elders that ‘blessed are those who suffer‘. My age and practical experience have made me fully convinced how correct their words are! Sufferings train us to face hardships and reality of life.They open our eyes and make us judge a friend from a foe.
