Friction is Necessary

Friction is Necessary

“Friction is necessary.

Ease of life leads to complacency and the atrophy of the human will and spirit.

Within our struggles lives our strength, within our trials lives our triumphs.

Friction creates a platform for change, generates heat and or fervor and creates a motivational charge that gives us an opportunity to be better.

A gem cannot be polished without friction and so neither a person without hardships.

Friction within and friction without sharpens our senses and revives our internal resolutions.

Friction is uncomfortable, hardships are distressing but both are necessary.

We cannot light a match without friction nor can we hone steel.

Uncomfortable as it may be, our adversity ultimately lights a fire and sharpens our very will to flourish.

Today, let us not be discouraged, let us not be bitter in our suffering rather let us be encouraged as we look to our trials as a medium that will eventually make us better."

indeed Jason Versey, (work) Static friction is the force required to make an object at rest begin to move. In contrast, (experience) kinetic friction is the resistance to motion of an object moving across a surface. Static friction always is greater than kinetic friction because fewer areas of the object are in contact with a surface once a body is in motion. (work builds experience)

Well said my friend. Hardship builds character.
