“There exists a depth of suffering that defies language, a ruin so absolute that it leaves no space for sentiment or redemption. When all is taken—when the body fails, when the world turns its back, when even the will to feel is stripped away—what remains is not resilience, not strength, but a hollow persistence. And yet, if there is anything to take from such an existence, it is this: survival is not proof of hope, nor is suffering proof of weakness. Sometimes, life continues not because of the promise of better days, but simply because it does. And in that, perhaps, there is its own kind of truth.”
