We are who we are not because of the things that have happened to us, but rather by the choices we make. The truest semblance of character is not that one has loved once nor a hundred times but that one remains faithful to oneself no matter the whirlwind of life and its debris. It isn't the wind nor that which it carries that defines the spirit and the soul, but the center, which holds strong and calm, that stands amidst it all.
