As to the question, yes. It absolutely can make you stronger. And more interesting. More than once I’ve had occasion to comment the most engaging of my acquaintance have experienced bumpier life rides.

It can, but it doesn’t always. If you learn from hardship, make positive changes, both in yourself and in how you see the world, grow, all that makes you stronger.

If you lay around and whine about the unfairness of life, lay responsibility on everyone but yourself, learn nothing but how to perfect your *poor me* attitude, well, I don’t see how that strengthens anything except a life unexamined.

I’ve seen people break under hardship. Not pretty. I’ve broken. Also not pretty. In those cases I think how one chooses to deal with the aftermath is a place to stretch character.

My two cents. *shrug*

On the breaking under hardship. Yep, I've seen it and been through it but those broken pieces can be picked up and pieced back together again into a more cohesive whole that's just a little stronger. It depends on how determined the person is to keep on going and keep on keeping on. :)

Exactly.

Consider me a glued together patchwork girl. :D

Alrighty then.
Let’s get this show started this morning.

Does hardship make a person stronger?
If so, under what conditions and at what point is it too much hardship? If not, what makes a person stronger?

Absolutely. Pain is an incredible catalyst for change.
We are incredibly resilient creatures that can do very hard things. I'm the moment it seems like we're not going to survive, and some of us don't. But- coming out the other end with a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world can be really powerful. Some people struggle to find positivity afterwards, and that's unfortunate but completely OK.

I've been through my fair share of crap over the years and find myself in incredible lows. I've been suicidal, sick to the point of honestly thinking I was going to die, heartbroken beyond anything I could imagine and I'm still here.

Therapy helps.

And I'm not just talking about mental health therapy, although I think that is something we need to desperately normalise. I've been in PT to learn to walk again, occupational therapy to learn other skills I was missing and of course, plenty of mental health therapy.

This is reminding me of the Japanese art of Kintsugi. When a piece of pottery is broken, the glue used to put it back together is infused with gold, making it not only stronger than before but more beautiful. A lovely metaphor for putting your life back together after shattering from hardships.

This is great Jenny!!! I've read about Kintsugi before and have seen pictures of it but none as good as the one you posted. Or heard it described in the metaphoric context you just used.:):cool:
 
That bowl is beautiful. There’s something to be said about eastern philosophy, I really do love it.

Couldn't agree more on hardship building ones character, absolutely.
I’ve been thinking how to play devil’s advocate. I mean, why not.
Does one have more empathy for others if they themselves have experienced hardship? I don’t know.
I feel there’s a lot of greed out in the world, but is the love and generosity equal or perhaps even more?
Deep thoughts for a late Tuesday night that I have no answers for.
Maybe I had some tacos and tequila it would be a different story.

I've got brats and beer if you've still got the snack monster blues. ;)

And I do tend to believe that empathy deepens with life's troubles for some.

In my experience, yes it does. And yet, that also supposes a relative amount of self awareness without which ...***** just sucks. With the self awareness, one can learn their own strengths and weaknesses.

I have also seen where things can seem so much more difficult than they need to be. And some other people seem to skate along with ease and lots of luck, never exerting themselves or testing their limits. It gets to me sometimes. Why the fuck should things always go so easy and so well for that asshole, he does absolutely nothing while I work so hard?! I don't usually let such things bother me for too long.

I have found that intense emotional stresses can seem the most difficult and if anything, come closest to breaking my spirit, even if for a little while.

Overall though, I almost always come back to being grateful for the things that most people take for granted. Good health, friends, good food, clean water, not being chased naked and starving across a desert by a murderous barbarian warlord- you know, everyday things. They give me heart, even in the toughest of times.

Do you make your bed every day?
Why or why not?

Yes, I do, every day. It's a good practice to get into and begin your day I also keep my bedroom tidy. Clothes scattered everywhere, just like continued unmade beds not only look slovenly it is slovenly.

Yes, daily.

Its like a switch for me. I am done sleeping, the final play of that activity is to put the bed away. Kind of like dinner. The final play of dinner, is to clean dishes, put them away, and take out the trash. Move on to the next thing.
 
Yes, every day. Doing a simple task first thing helps me wake up, gives me a minute or two to plan the morning and creates a bit of momentum for whatever needs to get done throughout the day.

There are many reasons. Mainly I like to let the sheets air out after sleep.

I've known other's who waited until after they finished their breakfast and getting ready for their day to let their sheets air out just as you said.
