I had to go through a time of isolation in order to come to terms with who and what I was.

Perhaps it’s time to rethink toughness or at least detach it from hardness… The people we admire for being resilient are not hard; they are ardent. They have a fervent commitment to some cause, some ideal or some relationship. That higher yearning enables them to withstand setbacks, pain and betrayal. […] We live in an age when it’s considered sophisticated to be disenchanted. But people who are enchanted are the real tough cookies.

David Brooks on rethinking our notions of toughness and fragility. Bruce Lee captured this perfectly a generation earlier with his timeless metaphor for resilience.

Also see philosopher Martha Nussbaum on how to live with our human fragility.
