Suffering produces either bitterness or maturity. ‘Maturity is the ability to think, speak and act your feeling within the bounds of dignity. The measure of your maturity is how spiritual you become during the midst of your frustration’ as said by American poet Samuel Ullman. And people who choose to laugh even while they are suffering are matured ones. If we choose to begrudge problems then they bring in bitterness in us and we miss the vital part in our progression of maturity. Staying happy in midst of suffering is a sign of true maturity.
