To be honest... I'm not sure what I think of this quote. I think it's accurate, but then a part of me doesn't want to think that. How I see it, everything in life is a lesson; and everything can give you strength if you look at it the right way. Now, this quote seems to think that every battle you go through in your life and every struggle is just to build you up, make you stronger, and give you a tougher outside to face FUTURE battles.
I disagree. I think you should definitely take lessons from your struggles, but not let them callous you and harden you to everything. Stay soft. Sometimes it takes some breaking before you can become okay. Clearly the quote is referring to emotional struggles; and I think that it is better to sometimes let your emotions out. How you choose to let them out is what makes a difference. Letting out emotion in dumb ways is a bad thing. Letting out emotion through, oh, I don't know... writing or an art form of some sort..? That's fine. And I support it. I don't think you should let troubles become new-found strength. Some people will take this quote the wrong way... or maybe look at their struggles as a good thing, even trying to create more so that they learn quicker the ways of the world. Just remember... even the toughest things can break and crack. A callous will build up on a foot, only to crack, split and hurt even more with too much pressure placed on it. And I think the same can be said for humans. Let's finish up with another quote... "It's okay to be a glowstick. Sometimes, you have to break before you can shine." ~Maddie
