Strength is born of necessity

"Strength is born of necessity"

A late night conversation a few days ago saw this little comment come out of me, practically without thought. And since, I have realised how true it is. The strength to endure the things that life throws at us is born out of the necessity to bear them. Without suffering, without fear and pain and grief, there is no strength. Without these things, we remain as weak and helpless as the day we were born.

Most of us go through times where things are so bad it seems impossible to bear. But you get through, because you have to, because there is no other option other than the complete submission of one’s dignity, pride and honour.

We endure because we must, but we must endure in order to become stronger.
