If you muster the courage to stand under fire and not go down you will amass an inner strength that cannot be touched. You won't be another nameless, faceless, forgotten human in a long line of the defeated. You will be a steeled warrior, and a force to be reckoned with.

And beneath the pain that lingers, you will have the comfort on knowing that you are the strongest of all. That when others caved and broke you kept fighting even against hopeless odds.
