Nearly All Men Can Stand Adversity,But If You Want To Test A Man’s Character Give Him Power—–

Ships are safe in the harbour, but then, that is not what ships are made for. Ships are not meant to stand securely in harbours. They are meant to explore, discover and engage with the vast seas and the lands. The seas may not always be smooth, the shore may not always be in sight – yet ships sail and reach their destinations, some are wrecked on their path, whereas others reach the end point successfully, having faced the tumultuous oceans.

Similarly,adverse circumstances bring out the best in a human being.We run by the common belief that adversity is the real test of strength for man, which come to break us, but help us make ourselves what we are.But are adversities the true tests of character?? From where One stand, it isn’t adversities at all that define and capture a man’s character, but
prosperities and times of power

Having TRIALS and SUFFERINGS, having setbacks that need immense efforts to conquer, having UP’s and Down which once conquered might seem like real successes, but that’s only just the beginning.

Once you have gotten through what was probably the hardest journey of your life at a certain point of time you would probably think you’ve conquered the world. You feel POWERFUL and you tend to feel the world have succumbed to you. Now, this POWER that you have earned after tremendous efforts, how good is it really for you??

If you’re in power and you KNOW there’s nothing stopping you now, in this scenario you tend to take wrong route. There can be nothing more wonderful than a humble person in power, and there can be nothing more detrimental than a person misusing or abusing power. Having power is like walking on a double edge sword, you won’t know what killed you if you go too far on either extreme.

Positions of power does not only imply with respect to WORK per se. It also indicates having power over people among a group of friends, having power over a sibling etc Just because your friend is indebted to you (as you have done something for him/her), Just because you know that you are the truest friend anyone can have.It does not mean you have this authority to SURPASS him. Actually this is where delusions begin.

An act of selfishness should always be there. It is selfishness because you want YOUR friend to be happy, you want YOUR family to be at peace, you want YOUR neighborhood to have an aura of divinity, and you want YOUR society to be on a higher consciousness. And HAVING POWER OVER ONE PERSON or ten or a society makes it easier for you to enforce what you want on them. Would you go and help a stranger who can give you back NOTHING in return?

These people are policemen,politician and employers etc.A title,office or uniform provides them with power over us.A piece of paper,certificate,skin ,money,or just born with a silver spoon in a mouth does not mean he is a powerful person.Most people under this role tend to take on a submissive role and allow such people to dominate or intimidate them.
These power are just a ARTIFICIAL and only for the purpose of SHOWING OFF.

how power is HANDLED is test of character. A good man will not abuse power but will use it for the common good, for those his actions affect. A man with bad character will abuse power and use it solely for his own self-interest, will not be patient or understanding in his pursuits.With power comes responsibility, and concerns, and people may expect a lot from you. So, you need to be able to cope with the test of power which is harder than coping with normal unpleasant circumstances.

Though a man may be able to withstand many hardships due to strength it doesn’t mean that he is good or fair to others in his rule.All man is created as nearly equal to God, even the worst person have still its good side,otherwise a true test is power to handle..like the old times as the man handle power, as empires falls..though we realized why man fallen.

In an optimistic point of view, hardship or misfortune, no matter how distressing they can be, make us more mature and humble in life On the other hand, power as seducing as it might seem, has succeeded in changing the behavior of many people. Being in the center of attention, having everyone asking you for favors, easily makes one become not only
corrupted, but also uppish and big-headed. That is why, POWER IS CONSIDERED A CHARACTER TESTER.

plzz check

This statement directly saying that if one want to judge the other person give him a strong controlling power , automatically a man true character will come to know . The man character can come to know between two words one is adversity and the second one is prosperity . Adversity is one which the man bad or some tough situation is going on for some time . prosperity is one in which the man good luck or some successfuly things happening in life . In adversity only the man are humble , calm , etc. In prosperity the man are some king of egoistic . for example there are three friends . They say that we are the best friends . There name is Rahul , Vishal , Rushi . One day there results has came rushi and rahul was the first and vishal was the second . one day there was the fight between vishal and some other boys immediately rahul has taken the side of the vishal but rushi has not come to take the side of the vishal . beacuse rushi has got prosperity in life thats what his ego has come between to take the side of the vishal. That day the vishal has come to know who is the real friend .
but i think through prosperity every people dont have egoism type of nature . for example some of people get nobel prize .
Lord krishna has also some superior power , even though he has not given his humblyness

The Inherent Vice Of Capitalism Is The Unequal Sharing Of Blessings;The Inherent Virtue Of Socialism Is The Equal Sharing Of Miseries—–
These words of Winston Churchill clearly depicted the pros & cons of both capitalist & socialistic economies. Both the economic systems are not perfect & not incorruptible.

In capitalism resources & goods are privately owned whereas in socialism resources are owned by the government or public. Distribution & earning of wealth is the main distinguishing element of both systems. In capitalistic society, people earn wealth for themselves while in socialistic society the earned wealth is distributed among everyone. In former system, government has no role to play other than ensuring that everyone is equal before the law but in latter government has a pivotal role of deciding that how the wealth is to be distributed in public.

Liberty – In socialism, your liberty is your human right to shelter, food, water, healthcare, education and other necessities with no need for financial instability. Through this you have freedom and can pursue happiness as long as your pursuit does not affect other people’s liberty.
In Capitalism, your liberty is your human right to freedom, to own property and the pursuit of happiness. There is no basic right that grants every citizen a house or food, healthcare, education or other necessities – these are all socialist ideas and prior to those social and political advancements, you had to buy those basic rights.

Economy–Socialism is an economic theory that works in post-capitalism and post-abundance scenarios. It’s still experimental and currently only mixed economies have proven to be sustainable. That being said, socialism has never been in post-industrial post-abundance societies as Marx theorised and we have yet to see an actual socialist society exist.

Capitalism is an economic system that is tried and tested and has existed for a few centuries and developed to become what it has today. There’s ups and downs but it smoothed out into a workable system. It works because it’s the best way of allocating resources of scarcity. The key feature of capitalism however, is the boom and bust cycle which continues and with
each boom and bust you get instability, political, economic and social. On top of that, nations develop unevenly.

Wealth Equality – Socialism aims to do away with wealth and instead, using the infrastructure laid out by capitalism, provide an abundance of resources which are allocated to citizens. This could either be through a ‘credit system’, commoning
or state allocation. Thus, because everyone can have according to need. There would theoretically be no financial instability, all we need to do is work for the day, go home and then all our electricity and water is provided for us and so on.

Capitalism creates a large wealth gap between the rich and poor and increasingly becomes centralised without intervention. Capitalism doesn’t seem to redistribute wealth and the increase of the wealth gap eventually leads to social and political instability.

Social Equality – Socialism sees all humans as equals. Rather, instead of seeing race, gender or ethnicity, they see only class. There are no nations or segregation in socialism. Socialism is an egalitarian ideology and champions egalitarianism.
Capitalism, or should I say, liberal capitalism, champions equal rights and freedom too.

Economic theorists say that socialism evolves from capitalism. It improves upon it by providing a direct route between citizens and goods and services. The people own the factors of production instead of the capitalist.
Many socialistic countries own the companies in oil, gas and other energy-related resources. It’s strategic for the government to control these profitable industries. The government collects the profit instead of corporate taxes. It also distributes these profits in government spending programs. These state-owned companies still compete with
private ones in the global economy.
Most Western democracies have elements of socialism whether that is social medicine provision, welfare, pensions and can also extend into public ownership of infrastructure such as railways, freeways and subways.

Both the system of economies has its own merits & demerits. Capitalism do ensure speedy progress of the nation by virtue of competition. Everyone works for serving himself thus there is adequate availability of labour & human resource which adds up to the high growth rate of the economy. On the other hand, it doesn’t guarantee that every individual will get the minimum requirement of life which is direct violation of human rights.Thus the system has a inbuilt shortcoming of increasing the gap between rich & poor. The ubiquitous competition may act as a catalyst to corruption & bureaucracy.
In socialism, people works for everyone, thus everyone gets what they want & when they want for free. Such a system is very effective in thwarting the curse of poverty & equalizes people on same standard. On different note, it lacks a motivation factor to contribute for the progress of society where every individual can get what they want without actually
working for it. Such a society may result into a stagnant society with a low progress rate. It also doesn’t guarantee that government will be free from corruption & bureaucracy.

The main crux is that both systems have some underlying merits & demerits. We should devise a new system which has merits of both systems such that it ensures healthy competition while safeguarding the interest of under-privileged.

Friends, I am a little late, but please review. Better late than never, right?
Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power
Abraham Lincoln gave us the above criterion to test a man’s character. And he was no ordinary man. This calls for examining this statement and delve deeply. Is it the right criterion to judge a man’s character? Why does he trivialize withstanding adversities? What about the countless books on motivation, stories about people overcoming all odds? Do the values of courage and resilience in face of obstacles have no meaning for Lincoln?
To understand this, we need to look at the life of Lincoln himself. His mother died when he was very young. His fiance died next. He suffered depression twice. He lost in a number of elections. He was told that he couldn’t speak in front of people. All these adversities and still he says all men can stand adversity?
Yes, because the uniqueness of Lincoln’s life doesn’t end at this. He became the president of the United States of America. An inspiring story of overcoming all odds. But what does he do next? He abolishes slavery! Yes! He abolishes a century-long practice of exploitation and human rights violation. It is undoubtedly his finest, most profound achievement.
This shows the beauty of Lincoln’s personality, a manifestation of which is this statement. Someone has correctly said that your character is what you do when nobody is watching you. People mostly portray an image of themselves in society because they are powerless in front of societal norms. They need to follow what the society tells them. But as soon as the person is alone, he is all powerful. He can do whatever he wants, think whatever he wants, whatever he does is his true self. It is his character.
Why do rapes happen in India? Is it because men are stronger than women? No, it is because men think that they are more powerful because of their patriarchal mindset. As as soon as one changes the structure of society, converts the mindset of people from men being powerful to women, scenario will reverse. What happens in many families in India between the daughter-in-law and the mother-in-law is not hidden. The mother-in-law has the power and hence, she uses it for her own advantage.
That is not to say that withstanding adversity is easy. Many people are not able to withstand adversities. Some people who are not able to face the trials and tribulations of life commit suicide. Having said that, one must remember that humans are naturally designed to be active. A sedentary person becomes obese. A life without challenges and obstacles is a stagnant life. One should either face challenges or perish.
One of the great lesson that adversity teaches us is empathy, to feel the pain of others. Once a person goes through some pain, he will know what it entails. If the same person is given power, he will ensure that such pain is not caused to others. But if he does not do so, if he misuses the power given to him, adversities have failed to teach him. He has not grown as a person, though he has faced adversity.
There are numerous examples of people who faced a lot of pain, but have not been able to manage the responsibility which comes with power. One of the most famous cyclists of our generation Lance Armstrong who had talent and worked hard at his sport, gave a cause for us to admire him even more when he overcame cancer. But soon he was found to use drugs to improve his game. Same is the case with Tiger Woods who was a champion player of golf and must have faced a lot of obstacles before reaching the world number 1 position, but failed in his life.
Examples are not hard to find in India too. The host of the much publicised The Kapil Sharma Show, Mr. Kapil Sharma couldn’t deal with all the fame and success which the show brought him and fought with his colleagues. One definitely wishes that such things don’t happen to the people we admire, but the reality is that managing power responsibly is way more difficult than overcoming adversities. Yet another example is the recent slap on the wrist of the armed forces by the Supreme Court. They were given powers under the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) to shoot at people who they perceived as threat without any prior permission, but it is alleged that they killed many innocent people. The armed forces clearly failed to use the power properly.
One of the best features of democracy is that it understands the statement very well. The system is based on the thought that one person or institution neither has the right to manage the affairs of a country nor will it be able to put the given power given to proper use. The case of India is relevant. The legislature, the executive and the judiciary keep a watch on each other and ensure that there is a check and balance system. Any policy has first to be passed by the representatives of people sitting in the parliament who have the choice to either accept or reject a bill.
All the different scenarios, lives of famous people, behaviour of members of our society and even the governance structure in our country and other parts of the world indicate the subtle balance between power and responsibility. It is as if power and responsibility are playing a see-saw game. One version of a person is sitting on the power side and the other is sitting on the responsibility side. The more power one has, the more responsible one should be. As soon as a person fails to maintain the balance, the see-saw of character falls and the game ends.
