MMMMKay. This is just the beginning of a philosophical essay, but tell me what you think and make any suggestions if you have them!! Keep in mind that I am an Honors 10 (10th grade) English student, so don't be too rough on me!! =] Thanx.
I believe that one should appreciate life’s conveniences, but be grateful for its hardships.
While the conveniences of life should be appreciated and enjoyed, it is the struggles that one endures that cultivate insight, as well as awareness and knowledge. Why is pity so often offered to those who endure great hardship in their lives, and not envy? The forbearing people who tolerate and overcome these adversities gain so much more than those who live the carefree and glamorous lives that are so commonly sought after. They gain a greater sense of perseverance and self-awareness and perceive issues in such a more insightful manner. Conveniences are life’s “coffee breaks”, but hardships are the tough life lessons that shape and mold who we become and what we will see, hear, and believe for the rest of our lives.
