“As my sufferings mounted I soon realized that there were two ways in which I could respond to my situation―either to react with bitterness or seek to transform the suffering into a creative force. I decided to follow the latter course.”
―Martin Luther King Jr.
How have you transformed suffering into a creative force?
Martin Luther King, Jr. continues to inspire, as exemplary lives often do. It seems as though we often develop empathy from either observing or experiencing adverse situations our selves. These experiences can give meaning in two ways; knowing to some degree what another is going through, and the comfort which can come about through actions or simply caring.
