What is good about remaining positive in the face of adversity?

Question

As results of medical procedures, one experiences excruciating pain.

Answer 1

Because adversity can only be faced with courage and confidence. When weak, appear strong, When Strong appear weak!

“Persons are judged to be great because of the positive qualities they possess, not because of the absence of faults”

“A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.”

“A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.”

Answer 2

Adversity is bad enough; why make it even worse by being pessimistic or depressed about it!?!
In your example, those medical procedures may prolong life. It's possible that the pain is for a limited period and may be (at least somewhat) alleviated by painkillers (or by other means like acupuncture, yoga....).
On the other hand, if it means a lifetime of excruciating pain, for me that's a different story. But I wouldn't worry about that until I absolutely had to.
Hope this is just a hypothetical question!

Answer 3

Knowing that you will win in the end. If you do not remain positive, you will be overcome by the adversity. A positive disposition counteracts the adversity and creates mental balance and stamina. Remaining positive is a survival technique.

Answer 4
