Weakness is human.

[vdovy]

Humanity was discouraged.

[downswing]

By?

[vdovy]

Handlers.

[downswing]

Disciplinarians?

[vdovy]

Yes. Strict ones.

[downswing]

They inflicted hurt.

[vdovy]

Pain only makes you stronger.

[downswing]

Pain erodes. Stone left behind is 'stronger' for being centred.

But lessened.

[vdovy]

Marble is just a rock until it's chiseled into art.

[downswing]

[vdovy]

What's the difference?

[downswing]

Stone beautiful from within.

[vdovy]

That's a nice thought.

[downswing]

Allow it.
