Part 7/8:
Responding to life's hardships involves taking responsibility for oneself—getting one's act together to avoid becoming a victim. The speaker urges for personal strength and stability, especially in moments of grief, such as the loss of a parent. By doing so, individuals can provide stability for others and avoid perpetuating their suffering through helplessness.
They invoke a message of resilience: don't give in to despair; instead, work to improve yourself and stand firm amidst life's unavoidable challenges. The philosophy here is that true strength comes not from avoiding suffering but from bearing it honorably and striving to be better.
