Indeed.
- ggm 8y agoIt's also possible I've misunderstood what he said, and that since written 75+ years ago things have moved on in what we think. I just still believe we don't all have the same depths to call on, and that reserves of courage are not infinite and cannot replenish beyond a certain point.
- TheSpiceIsLife 8y agoSorry if it didn’t come across clearly, my comment of “indeed” was intended as a witticism directed at the reply to your comment by @colordrops. You stated, or claimed, that people have varying degrees of resilience, and the reply by @colordrops was “in my experience”. I was attempting to point out that “in my experience” doesn’t refute your claim, if anything it supports it. I would have been better off writing a more extensive comment in the first instance; drive-by one-liners rarely enhance the conversation.
