What accounts for the indomitable human spirit? What gives hope when all seems lost? How do some people survive without bitterness, resentment, or hatred, despite having faced the worst of inhumane treatment? How do so many victims of injustice and brutality still retain faith in human nature? The greatest of writers and poets have revered humankind’s unique ability to display “grace under pressure”. What brings comfort and determination to the battered human heart and keeps it “strong in will/To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield”?
