Resilience is a good trait to have. It actively lets you effectively handle the ups and downs of life.
The problem I have (and this is sarcasm) is that there is no active verb form of the word. "I am resilient." My 12th grade English teacher -- Sister DeNeri-- would scowl and say that's the passive voice.
But I don't want the word "passive" associated with my resilience!!
It has to be passive -- you are rebounding FROM something. It is your reaction TO an event or action. the passive voice make the actor the object -- "the prize was given to her" or "the milk was spilled by him".
