The core of Buddhism is to see everything, whether hardships or happiness, as it is, or as the function of the true-Self. The hardships are not hardships on their own, but they are hardships because we look upon them as hardships and call them as such.
When encountering hardships, we, above all, should remember that we are being deluded by forms and words, and try to see the situation where we are placed just as it is. Trying to see the situation as it is, is not only a good practice but a good way to handle the hardships.
