Thank you for this excellent example.

In time of extra-ordinary hardship, it is important to hold fast to our principle of 'righteousness' (goodness).

If we lose hope and lose our siila, we will lose the pride of ourselves and even reasons for our living.

Those who come through hardship, walk with their head up high and their mind at peace.

For they know, everything that arises, may rage like fires, soon subsides and dies out.

From a furnace of hardship, our mind is forged, sharper and stronger.
