"What the resilience preachers look for is a person to be unchanged in
the face of trauma. But I would argue that this is impossible, that
people are always changed by trauma, and furthermore, that we ought to be."

Via Muse, who wrote: "Excuse my language, but damn right! We seem to
have a class of people who want to surround themselves with a marketing
halo effect, but are not interested in grappling with the real problems."
