Our society, from the government down, appears to be subjected to deferred judgment; agreed with, acquiesced to and offended by the slightest point of truth or factual information, who can flourish under such a daily diet of complacency of thoughts and mental mendacity?
Character is not built through complacency but adversity, efforts thwarted and exercised, through opposition and ideas, through free expression and even free thinking. It fortifies your character, elasticates the spirit and makes it more pliant and extricates rigidity of thought.
Tim adds:
Amen. Success and prosperity can be terrible things. People stop facing hardships and wind up spoiled, entitled brats (like now). Suffering is indeed good for the soul.
I would add God warned the Israelites in the Bible about the dangers of prosperity they were facing when they first entered the Holy Land. Theyb didn't listen, as indeed few do.
