to grow

You have many ways to grow as a human, to learn kindness, hospitality. To learn welcoming people and understanding their struggles.

You can read books. Ton of books.

Or watch TV shows, there are so many of them.

Or you could have some bad luck.

Yes, because if we’re open-minded, it’s when something goes really bad in our life that we can relate to other people’s struggles. We start to see how it impacted us and how maybe other people are suffering from this.

Life can teach us so many things if we’re keen to listen and to observe. To see what drives others and what guides their choices and words.

To comprehend their problems so that we might help them.

But in the end, it’s up to us to listen. 

You can always blame luck, or blame someone else for your problems and not realize how much you can learn from them. In those cases, there is no backstory to search in misfortune. Nothing to learn.
