I think this is Nietschze but I'm sure other people have said this.
Is it true? Is emotional strength earned by suffering?
Research, of course, would identify if this is true for individuals and the average.
Given modern theories of psychology I would guess not. I would guess emotional traumas lead to mental illness and mental illness lead to a reduced ability to handle emotional.
How is emotional strength earned then? There are people who can go through hell on Earth and never speak about their pain nor be affected by it. There are those who can withstand significant amounts of trauma and abuse but recover easily or are not affected. How do these types become?
