The Darkest Hour is Just Before The Dawn

This age-old adage offers a valuable lesson that hope, determination, and resilience can offer solace and encouragement during critical junctures of life. When there are challenging times, people take important or transformative steps to alleviate their problems. For instance, it is during the time of economic downturns that governments take radical measures and steer the nation toward economic progress and stability. The Great Leap Forward of China stands as a striking example in this regard. A lot of people died, but now China is the world’s leading economy. Similarly, Europe was entangled in wars throughout history. Then European leaders came together and pledged “no more wars”. Now, European countries are among the wealthiest. On the individual level, Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King and Thomas Edison can be cited as prominent examples. Nelson Mandela was persecuted and later imprisoned for 27 years for raising voice against the apartheid in South Africa. Martin Luther King was harassed and later assassinated for his efforts to gain socio-political rights for the people of colour. Thomas Edison failed many times before inventing the bulb. However, at the end of tunnel, there was light. Apartheid in South Africa came to end, and Mandela became the first democratically-elected black president. The black people got civil rights in the U.S. Edison’s name was written forever in the book of history. Therefore, it can be said that one should not lose hope and face every situation with courage and determination. Only then dark moments will turn into light.
