Hardships can show/display the real nature of the human being, rather they can have a role in complementing, transforming and changing it. They (hardships) are like rare agents (catalysts) which can transform a metal to another. Make the weak into strong, and the low into high, and the inexperienced into the experienced one. They can refine and purify and they can remove impurities. They can excite and provoke; they can cause awareness and sensitiveness.  Therefore, these types of cases must not be considered as anger and rage, rather they are mercy in the shape of anger, goodness in the form of badness, blessings in the shape of punishments [1].
