Standing Strong

Pain, suffering, change, adversity.... in this game of life, is it about survival of the fittest, or is it simply flat-out survival?

It could be just about anything that challenges us, things like the unexpected health problem, or friends (or family) breaking your emotional spirits, perhaps even something analogous to the frog in the heating pot of water - for example, being entrenched in financial debt that has, before you've realized it, climbed in size as high as the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro. Sometimes it is a matter of consequence, other times choice, but often times it is both. Whatever it may be, it is all too real - we must face up to our antagonistic elements.

In the end, the strong stand tall.
