America has bred some truly terrifyingly awesome men, whose life seems more like a action hero than true life. Top among this list is probably Ernest Hemingway, a writer/journalist by trade he was also a very notable soldier, drinker, fighter, and quite the ladies man (married five times). He was the original Overly Manly Man, though the evils of war took a strain on him and he took his own life in 1961."The world breaks everyone, and afterward, some are strong at the broken places."
The world's a harsh place, one bad day seem to have the tendency to snowball. Hemingway recognized this early in life and spent years detailing the horrors of life in his novels. He had been broken by life more times than i would care to count, but he preached that from these broken places greatness can be sown. I find this quote applicable to the hardships of my life now seek closure of those events, so that I can become strong at those places.
