"Cuando nos enfrentamos a una verdadera tragedia en la vida, podemos reaccionar de dos maneras: ya sea perdiendo la esperanza y cayendo en hábitos autodestructivos o utilizando el desafío para encontrar nuestra fuerza interior"
— Dalai Lama
Simplified Meaning:
When something really bad happens to us, we can handle it in two different ways. We might feel hopeless and start doing things that are bad for us, like avoiding friends, feeling sad all the time, or not taking care of ourselves. On the other hand, we can face this tough situation and try to be strong from the inside. For example, think about someone who loses their job. They might feel really down and give up looking for new work, sinking into negative thoughts and bad habits. But if they decide to stay strong, they could use this time to learn new skills, find better job opportunities, and ultimately come out stronger. This means that even when life is hard, choosing to be strong and positive can help us grow and overcome difficulties.
