Summary

This quote suggests that while afflictions or hardships are inherently negative experiences, they can ultimately be beneficial for us. Afflictions serve as a means to uncover and reveal our weaknesses or issues. They act as a mirror, showing us the areas where we need healing and improvement. By bringing our problems to the surface, afflictions can then guide us towards finding remedies or solutions to overcome our challenges. In this way, despite being unpleasant, afflictions can be seen as inherently good for our personal growth and development.
