"Adversity helps to develop a depth of character that comes in no other way. Our loving Heavenly Father has set us in a world filled with challenges and trials as that we, through opposition, can learn wisdom, become stronger, and experience joy."
-Dieter F. Uchtdorf
Just like is says in 2 Nephi 2:11, we need to have opposition in all things. That can sound a little disheartening, but if you think about it, how are we suppose to know what happiness is if we have never felt sad? How are we suppose to know what's good, if we have never seen bad?
I know in my own life that the things I grow and learn the most from are my trials and opposition. If you really have gone to the bottom or seen the bad, then you know and appreciate the good and joy so much more. I don't mean that we have to hit rock bottom in order to be happy, but I do believe that we need to feel some pain before we can be truly happy and feeling true joy, in my opinion, makes the pain all worth it.
