We face adversity when crossing hardships, difficulties, or misfortunes. It can be the loss of a loved one, financial crises, illness, etc. It may as well be the treason of friends or allies. You may be a person who respects the Universal Law and still know adversity. In this case, God may allow the situation to get your attention. He may as well use it as an alarm to wake you up. God may also want you to change your belief and behavior to the wellness of humanity. 

The word adversity fits the situation of thousands of Haitians crossing the border of Mexico-Texas. Knowing that the USA is a good ally of Haiti, they risk their life for its TPS. Wrong decision! Uncle Sam doesn’t like coffee too much; he prefers milk. That is why he gives better consideration to Caucasian, Spanish, and Asian folks. The fair treatment the Biden administration reserves to the Afghans show clearly discrimination against Haitian migrants.

Discriminatory treatments from our allies should serve as motivation to close our ranks and fix our country. In adversity, our friends will not care for us. Malcolm X said, “There is no better than adversity. Every defeat, every heartbreak, every loss contains its seed, its lesson on how to improve your performance the next time.”

In a world filled with prejudice, we must close our ranks and develop our country. It is our proper abode. Malcolm X mentioned, “Sitting at the table doesn’t make you a diner unless you eat some of what’s on that plate. Being here in America doesn’t make you an American. Being born here in America doesn’t make you an American.”
