“The more violent the storm, the quicker it passes.”
— Paulo Coelho
Simplified Meaning:
When a storm is really intense, it tends to finish faster than a gentler one. Imagine a strong thunderstorm with heavy rain and fierce winds. Even though it's very powerful, it usually doesn't last long. On the other hand, light rain can go on for hours without causing much trouble. This can be applied to life's challenges: when you face something very difficult or stressful, it often feels overwhelming but also tends to be over sooner than more minor, drawn-out problems. For example, a very stressful situation like cramming for an important exam can feel intense and exhausting, but it only lasts a short time. Once it’s over, you feel relief quickly. This idea can help you understand that when you're in the middle of something tough, it won't last forever and will be over before you know it. It’s a way to reassure yourself that hard times will pass, so try to stay strong and patient.
