don't listen to too much current 93

“The world breaks everyone, and afterwards many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break, it kills - it kills the very good, and the very gentle, and the very brave, impartially. If you are none of these, you can be sure it will kill you, too, but there will be no special hurry.” -Ernest Hemingway

How true this is. The world does break us and in many ways, once we have been broken, we seek to break others, as if somehow that would lessen our own wounds.
