Human beings are so surprisingly strong and weak at the same time.
People can endure hardships that seem beyond survival. Accidents, disease, malnourishment, torture...name the challenge, and you will find examples of humans finding a way to overcome the worst circumstances that could be imagined.
And yet, humans are fragile. A little germ, a seemingly innocent bump on the head, a stray bullet or a small clot can quickly kill a previously vibrant being. A broken heart can take down the strongest of us.
WOW. That is so true. Although, maybe instead of weak, I'd say that humans are mortal and vulnerable. By the way, I love your photo - - is that the same tree I saw in Stephen King's Bag O Bones??
