A short monologue asserting that suffering and tragedy can purify and reveal one’s true self. The speaker frames pain as an opportunity for transformation: individuals may either become bitter or use hardship to open up and grow.

Chapters

When you get knocked down and you get broken open, that's when you really get to know your true self. Suffering is awesome, you know. You get knocked down and split in half. You walk out in the world. If you choose, you have a choice. You can contract and become bitter and never open up again like most people. Or you can actually use the tragedy or suffering or whatever you've gone through to allow it to purify you. Tragedy and pain is life's greatest purifier.
