Do differences makes us stronger?

Lonehare12

When I walk or run through the fields, I often leave monkey nuts for the crows and magpies. Something always takes them, and it makes me feel warm inside.


There’s one crow with white feathers who often stays when I get close. I sometimes wonder if he’s had to become brave and resilient because of his difference.

I try to learn from nature, and it makes me think about people too. Do you think we become stronger or more resilient because of adversity?


I’d love to hear your thoughts.

  • Adversity being character buiding is an old saying and I think it can be true, not always it depends on the adversity and the character. If someone's always been timid then being talked over and verbally bullied is unlikely to make them less timid, but they may fight really hard if physically attacked.

    I think it's more about having an awareness of the adverse situations you face/d and a willingness to engage with them and learn from them, I think it's taking your power back from a situation rather than remaining a victim of circumstance.

    I agree with the learning part, sometimes it's the only positive thing we can take away from a difficult situation.
