there is this saying that goes something like how the tea bag only shows its true strength in hot water. there is also this saying from According to Jim, that heroes are not made, they are cornered. is it that hard times bring out the best in people? does it bring out something latent, or do they force people to become something more than they already are? i wonder, because the people in my family are pretty awesome. my grandma and mother have incredible willpower. sure, being stubborn can be bad, but having mental strength definitely helps you to pull through in times of trouble. and that is something they certainly have. their willpower is so strong they can probably resist jedi mind tricks. or even convince the jedi and sith that the Force doesnt exist, and hence bring peace to the galaxy.

being mentally weak, i wonder is it because i have been living too comfortable a life, or because those are recessive genes.

another saying that i like and recently came across is of how all shit stinks, except your own. crude and apt, just the way i like it
