People have different ways of reacting to rejection. The reaction could manifest as suicide, murder, rape or depression. Some people don't take rejection as part of life experience. They try to get even and develop negative mindset.
The result may be destruction of self or destruction of others. Sometimes, rejection could produce low self esteem. A person may just feel he's not good enough for anything. It's really a cancerous experience, it destroys everything in its path. Self defeatism, is tantamount to self annihilation. It is a death sentence.
We often read stories of people that trudged through the fog of rejection into the rainbow of acceptance and success. These men and women weren't supermen or superwomen; they were simply people that had been schooled in the college of hardship and reality. They had known that some doors had to close for others to be open.
When a lady says no; another will say yes. When a business proposal bounces, another one will sail through; when a course offers straight F's another one will offer straight A's. That's the trend that life takes. The missionaries were often rejected in some mission fields only to succeed in others.
While the world exists, there will always be an interplay of rejection and acceptance: that's what makes life dichotomous and interesting.
