The Philosophy of Undesirable Events in Life - Al-Shia The Scientific and Cultural Website of Shia belief The Philosophy of Undesirable Events in Life 2021-06-19 309 Views Evils , Undesirable Events We have said that a group of the materialists have coercively made use of the issue of unpredictable occurrences of calamities and difficulties which occur in the life of human beings as an excuse to deny the justice of the Creator and sometimes, to deny even the existence of God!

Now we will continue the discussion of the previous lesson. 3. A Human Being is nurtured through Facing Difficulties We again repeat that we should not create difficulties for ourselves, but, at the same time, it often happens that difficulties increase our will-power just like iron which is strengthened when placed in hot smelting pots. In the smelting pot of difficulties we become experienced and more persevering.

War is basically not good but sometimes a difficult and long war causes the abilities of a nation to blossom and transforms dispersion into unity and quickly makes up for our falling behind. A famous Arab historian says, “The blossoming of civilization has appeared throughout history in various parts of the world.

It followed a country being attacked by a powerful foreign country, being awakened and mobilizing their forces.” Of course, reactions to difficulties are not similar among all people and all societies. One group falls into despair, weakness and pessimism and reaches a negative conclusion but there are individuals who have the right attitude when faced by these difficulties and are stimulated, mobilized by them, begin to move and they are filled with excitement and enthusiasm.

But because in such situations, many people judge by what appears on the surface, they only see the bitterness and difficulties and ignore the positive and constructive effects. We do not claim that all bitter events have such effects in a human being but at least some people are in this way. If you study the life of geniuses of the world, you will see that almost all of them suffered difficulties and great misfortunes.

There are fewer people who are raised in comfort and luxury who have shown themselves to be geniuses and who have arisen to a high position. A good commander of an army is a person who has seen a difficult and long battle. Their economic genius’ are people who have fallen into difficulties in the economic market.
