1)Hurricanes, house fires, cancer, plane crashes, vicious attacks in dark places. Nobody asks for any of it. But to their surprise, many people find that enduring such a hardship ultimately changes them for the better. They might say something like this: "I wish it hadn't happened, but I'm a better person for it."
(2)We love to hear the stories of people who have been transformed by their suffering, perhaps because they testify to a psychological truth, one that sometimes gets lost amid endless reports of disaster: There is a natural human capacity to flourish under the most difficult circumstances. Positive reactions to profoundly disturbing experiences are not limited to the toughest or the bravest. In fact, roughly half the people who struggle with hardship say that their lives have in some ways improved.
(3)This and other promising findings about the life-changing effects of crises are part of the new science of post-traumatic growth. This field has already proved the truth of what once passed as common saying: What doesn't kill you can actually make you stronger. Post-traumatic stress is far from the only possible outcome. In the wake of even the most terrifying experiences, only a small proportion of adults become troubled. More commonly, people rebound—or even eventually flourish.
(4)Those who survive hardship well are living proof of one of the paradoxes of happiness: We need more than pleasure to live the best possible life. Our contemporary quest for happiness has become a hunt for bliss—a life protected from bad feelings, free from pain and confusion.
(5)This definition of well-being leaves out the better half of the story, the rich, full joy that comes from a meaningful life. It is the dark matter of happiness, the quality we admire in wise men and women and aspire to cultivate in our own lives. It turns out that some of the people who have suffered the most, who have been forced to contend with shocks they never anticipated and to rethink the meaning of their lives, may have the most to tell us about that profound and intensely fulfilling journey that philosophers used to call the search for "the good life."
(6)This broader definition of good living blends deep satisfaction and a profound connection to others through sympathy. It is dominated by happy feelings but seasoned also with nostalgia and regret. "Happiness is only one among many values in human life," contends Laura King, a psychologist at the University of Missouri in Columbia. Compassion, wisdom, insight, creativity—sometimes only the trials of hardship can foster these qualities, because sometimes only drastic situations can force us to take on the painful process of change. To live a full human life, a quiet, carefree existence is not enough. We also need to grow—and sometimes growing hurts.
お礼
本当にお礼が遅れて申し訳ありません。 大風邪が治ったとたんに忙しくて、時間がありませんでした。 すごくかっこいい詩なのに、質問者もlife's doorの箇所の解釈はちょっと自信がないので、間違っているのかすら分かりません。（汗） １行目と２行目は流石ですね。 質問者ももうすこし詩の感覚が欲しいものです。
