Are disasters a blessing in disguise?

Disasters, most people view them as something bad. Natural or man made, but sometimes I feel that disasters may actually be blessing in disguise.

For a person that has never experienced disasters in life, never experienced failure, he will never learn how to get up and walk when faced with difficulty easily. I guess this is because most of us takes things for granted with the wealth and prosperity we enjoy since young nowadays.

Living in a relatviely natural disaster free country where there are no earthquakes that tears down building after you or drought or famine, or snowfall that will bring your house down, I feel that I would probably be staring into space if I am faced with any of the above, to have a home taken away and I wont know how to pick myself up.

Of course losing lives and property arent good things, but if we were to experience disasters of a less serious magnitude, we would be more preparaed if we are faced with the big ones. That is what I feel. We all learn from our experiences. We are also in a better position to help others if we have experienced such scenarios ourselves.

So sometimes, when life throws something bad at us, think of it as a blessing in disguise and learn lessons from it to bring ourselves further in life. Cheer up after the first emotional strike.

Learn to live for another day.
