Pain Will Only Strenghen Us

Running, striding, running, running, running, falling, crashing. This pain strikes like a lightning bolt exploding in every part of my body. Each movement of my feet reminds me of the fall. A moment passes, and the pain continues. Standing, running, continuing. I have to finish what I have started, and I won’t give up. In the hardest of moments where pain questions are strength we prove our power, and show it only makes us stronger.

“What doesn’t kill me makes me stronger”- a quote said by Friedrich Nietzsche proves to us that what you are going through will only make you stronger in time to come. In Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury the protagonist Guy Montag discovers pain throughout the novel. An incident that he faced was when Clarisse died. He suffered through the pain of his loss, and managed to use it as knowledge. This pain can only strengthen Montag, unless it defeats him.

Pain is weakness leaving the body. After Montag had faced the death of Clarisse, he was stronger and more prepared for when he learned the truth about his wife. He also uses his experience of these situations when he hurt his leg, because instead of giving up he continued on and struggled through the pain but never gave up.

We can’t let pain defeat us we have to prove our strength. When we face the hard times, we can’t let them defeat us. They can only make us stronger, and help us in the future.
