I also agree that inner strength is having the wisdom and courage for the voyage towards what's good, as well as taking on and doing what's necessary.

Sarah is the epitome of what her native name stands to signify, indeed.Kinkini wrote: ↑05 Mar 2018, 23:10She was named Strong Heart because of her conviction. Despite all odds, physical hurt, and internal turmoil, the protagonist did not fail in her endeavour, be it paddling the boat, adjusting to new people, or reading thoughts. Her thin frame did not define her ability, and she proved it by working harder than ever. The character of Strong Heart is quite similar yet unlike Sarah.

Sarah truly embodies the meaning of her traditional name, indeed.

I agree. Our individual perspectives could indeed vary. Even the most similar-looking twins could still have inherent differences much more so those who aren't born the same. It's good we've got a forum where we could connect with as well as learn from or about each other's ideas and thoughts.dtb wrote: ↑28 May 2018, 09:08I agree that it is not about conquering others.
