We humans are strong, not only physically, but also mentally and emotionally. We experience certain events that have the ability to hurt us. Although we may feel the need to cry and suffer, we keep in mind that we also have to be strong. Whenever we encounter difficulties, such as discrimination or failures, we show a strong attitude and we convince ourselves that we are strong enough to confront those difficult situations. As we grow older, we become stronger because life’s adversities force us to. We all have our weaknesses when it comes to something we love, but that love is also what pushes us to be strong. We all act strong, but deep down, we really are strong just because of the fact that we don’t let our weaknesses show. Some of us are afraid to show our weaknesses or to show that we are suffering because society has created the idea that we can’t show others that we are weak; instead, we have to show them that we’re strong. But really, for how long can we ACT strong?
