I explained how natural disasters, disease, etc, give opportunity towards a heroic spirit. I don't think I can make a simple thesis. I tried to explain how all these things play a role in adversity, and we get tested. All of it plays a role...And my view of why politics plays a vital role in this, is because nationalism plays a force to overcome in supporting justice, loving other humans, and being moral. Also when actual suferring occurs, that is when we can really know how compassionate and loving we are. Otherwise, everyone in a perfect world can love others, but this would not be high type of love. There is more heroic love. It's easy to become cold-hearted at suferring at others, which I believe much of the world is, which is why it's more heroic when you overcome that. It's the same with being just and supporting justice.
