Does heartache make you stronger?

I don't believe it does, no. That would be like saying that the apple-press makes the juice, or the sluice makes the gold. It might bring a person's inner strength out and make it visible, but only if it was there to begin with. All the heartache really does is bring everything to a point where you can't ignore it any more. If there's something in you that's enough to keep you going in spite of everything that's been laid on you, then you'll keep going. And if there's not. . . well, we're only human. Even glaciers break eventually.

Strength is like courage. It's in the going on, and sometimes you've got to dig pretty deep to find it.
