Hard... But... True...

A young Quarterback blows out his knee, and is lost for the season. A young prospect, recently drafted and signed by an NFL team, is immediately sent to the doctors to go under the knife, and start a long rehab. Football is such a brutal sport. Life-altering injuries are a nasty part of the game. 

Maybe, probably, he will be back next season.

The young Q.B. posted the phrase "Amor Fati" on social media. It is a Latin phrase, one that is associated with the Stoics. Wisdom crops up in unusual, unexpected places.

What is amor fati? "Amor fati is a Latin phrase that may be translated as "love of fate" or "love of one's fate". It is used to describe an attitude in which one sees everything that happens in one's life, including suffering and loss, as good or, at the very least, necessary."

It kind of rings with my go-to phrase: Damn the torpedoes. You know, the torpedoes are coming, you just have to endure, and thrive. We all must deal with the deal. If we love life, and we do, then all of it is included, even the bad, the disfiguring, & the disheartening things. Hard... but... true...
