unveiling

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
-Martin Luther King Jr.

Persons as we are, we tend to judge ourselves based on the good times we had and the countless wonders in our hands. We think of all the things we wished and actually have. I'm not saying that shouldn't be. But come to think of it. Is that really what measures our character? Somehow, maybe.. Now, come think of the bad times, of the challenges we faced. During challenges, the situation presses us as hard as it could go. These are the times when we get to know ourselves more, what we are capable of thinking and doing.. And these are the times, when we then are given chances to unveil the deepest "us".
