When the going gets tough ..

.. the tough gets going.

Have you ever noticed that the struggles, tough times, whatever you call them seem to have an affinity for the tough people, the people who can persevere and survive ..

.. or is it that only the tough survive these hardships where the others would have bailed out ..

.. or maybe this courage and perseverance is actually a weakness, agreeing to stay in difficult circumstances just because the threshold of tolerance of pain and difficulties is higher, just because they can still bear it, continuing with situations where quitting is preferred ..

.. who is to say what is courage .. at times it is living in pain and at others it is quitting the painful life and starting afresh ..

Normalization

When a personal falls on the fringes of the 'normal' curve, what is to be preferred?

Should the person wear a cloak of normalcy and hide the differences or continue to stay on the edges often making others and self uncomfortable in the process.
