[QUOTE="Henry, post: 7651347, member: 158"] Not to stir the pot too much, but In my reading of "7 Habits of Highly-Effective People" by Stephen Covey I was introduced to the narrative of Viktor Frankl -- if there was a man who embodied strength in the face of debilitating adversity, both personal and familial, it's him. The hypthetical gent who had his knee shattered and rebuilt can't even compare IMO. Do I think anyone can do what he did? Hell no. Do I have any illusions that I can do what he did? Almost certainly not -- I'd probably have rolled over and died. I've been very lucky/blessed in this life, all my adversities faced could fit on half of Viktor Frankl's fingernail. Does that make me a failure or not able to live up to a standard? if it does, I'm fine with that -- I accept that the standard's high. Just because I can't meet it doesn't mean I set it lower, personally speaking. I've had difficulties, but it was through love of family and friends that I made it through; it's just that I understand the sentiment behind both aphorisms "Strength through adversity" and "Let it go." BTW, Rel, I'm sorry to hear about Onyx! I love that little girl (well, not so little) to death! I regret not asking to stay with you guys last time now. :) I hope the rest of your family finds peace with it. Oh, and speaking of adversity killing you making you a better person, I gave up on Don't Starve because Winter kept kicking my butt. :D I'm instead beating zombies to death with lead pipes in Dead Island.
