A person’s true character comes to the forefront when faced with hardship and struggles. In this circumstance, it is determined whether a person is capable to stand the test of time and the behavior they will portray while doing so. Interestingly, it is at this point one could become aware of what makes or breaks them. In times of trouble, a person’s moral compass becomes evident based upon their behavior and the actions taken in such unfortunate situations.

I believe a person’s character is not tested and cannot be accurately measured in times where there is no challenge, but rather becomes more apparent in the face of adversity. Therefore, the occurrence of controversy is where a person’s true self can be revealed.
