Pity does not validate cowardice

I used to think that prizes were damaging and divisive, until I got one. And now they seem sort of meaningful and real.

Just like children, emotions heal when they are heard and validated.

Cowards die many times before their deaths;The valiant never taste of death but once.

Every hard-boiled egg is yellow inside.

Strength is Happiness. Strength is itself victory. In weakness and cowardice there is no happiness. When you wage a struggle, you might win or you might lose. But regardless of the short-term outcome, the very fact of your continuing to struggle is proof of your victory as a human being.
