Bad times have scientific value.
These are occasions a good learner would not miss.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Most difficult times require change or occur because of change. Something doesn't go the way you expected or hoped. You find yourself in a circumstance not of your choosing. Like the dust bowl. That wasn't expected and occurred because of climate change. The unwanted and unanticipated results of bad agricultural planning.
Any sort of tragedy or disaster. Sometimes even just having to move from one town to another. Or losing something and not being able to find the exact same thing again, so you have to adapt to a purple wallet instead of a red one.
Change is hard. Maybe most of us are comforted by routine. Predictability.
Maybe change is hard because it's made out of metal.
