Scar tissue is stronger than regular tissue. Realize the strength, move on.
I know that war and mayhem run in our blood. I refuse to believe that they must dominate our lives. We humans are animals, too, but animals with amazing powers of rationality, morality, society. We can use our strength and courage not to savage each other, but to defend our highest purposes.
I never said I wanted a 'happy' life but an interesting one. From separation and loss, I have learned a lot.

No difficulty can discourage, no obstacle dismay, no trouble dishearten the man who has acquired the art of being alive.
