Sweet Sweet of the Street
Tolstoy, a renown writer in old Russia was a man of great wisdom. When a friend visited him the first time, he experienced the bitterness of his wife. She was very disagreeable, speaking harshly and being rude and obnoxious to her husband. She regularly insulted him. After seeing enough of it, the friend asked him in private, "Why do you put up with her? The woman is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword. You don't need her!" But Tolstoy said, "I do need her. I need her to practice being sweet.” Bitter trials are often sweet blessings in disguise.
