A MEDITATION

“ Brave men rejoice in adversity, just as brave soldiers triumph in war.

— Seneca

Adversity is where a brave person finally gets to be themselves. You can't express courage in a cushion; you need a surface to push off. Rejoicing isn't about enjoying pain — it's about finally having something to press against.
