From the mind of critic: :If what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger, do world record holding weight lifters have to endure immense persecution, racism, hate, violence, ethnic cleansing or disasters specifically so they can break records? Do we become strong, by overcoming what we didn’t think we could? Do we become weak, by staying neutral when we know we could act? Do we become enlightenened, by keeping everything on a case by case basis? We all have adversity to overcome, obstacles to get past and goals we want to acheive. Gaining life experience through testing our character, is how we build character. That creation will serve us throughout our lives, defining who we are, and how we view the world. Can we become strong human beings without going through hardship, sure, but it’s an exception. Once we realize that rules can be exceptions, and exceptions can be norms, we’ll see that unless we’re open to the entirety of life, discernment will dissappear, and we’ll be helpless against the whims of whichever way the wind blows. When we figure out that strength isn’t always physical, our perceptions begin to benefit our soul.” 🙂
