SA作文范文：Do we really benefit from every event or experience in some way?

[anti-both]

We can benefit from every experience; no matter how good or bad it seems to be, an event will always have a lesson to teach us. Both history and literature are full of examples of occurrences that, while at a cursory glance seem to have no bright side, end up bearing educational morales for us to learn and heed.

Therefore, Amir’s unloyal actions toward Hassan and Hassan’s death lead to a loving father-son relationship between Amir and Sorhab.

After examining Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin’s assassination, and Amir’s betrayal of his best friend in the novel ‘The Kite Runner’, it is clear that every incident, no matter how horrible it seems at first, can lead to something beneficial.
