A conversation between Swami Vivekanand and Ramkrishna Paramhansa : "Swami Vivekananda:- Why do good people always suffer?
Ramakrishna Paramahansa:- Diamond cannot be polished without friction. Gold cannot be purified without fire. Good people go through trials, but don’t suffer.

Swami Vivekananda:- You mean to say such experience is useful ?
Ramakrishna Paramahansa:- Yes. In every term, Experience is a hard teacher. It gives the test first and the lessons afterwards. With that experience their life becomes better, not bitter."
