Rising To The Occasion –
During the high adrenaline rush,
it becomes instinctively easier
to have the strength of heart
to dramatically rise against all odds,
as well as against particularly nasty influences.
However, the nature of our character
shows forth its truest colors
when we are in a phase of mundane,
humdrum lifelessness,
and yet, we still rise up,
conquering our nothingness
to continue making the most noble
of choices
(even if doing so comes with great difficulty
when energy-bursting passion is absent).
And, in this way,
we are poetically rising to the occasion!

Never considered things that way, Tamara, yet now, it makes so much sense.
Just as character is what we do when we think nobody’s watching, perseverance and will truly emerge only when the wind drops and emotion no longer tosses us.
Of all the trials we face, indolence often is the most daunting because it comes from within. It isn’t somebody’s else’s challenge we must meet, it’s our own.

Cute–well done response! I think the “poor little puddy tat” as a phrase, came from one of the characters of the WB’s BUGS BUNNY SHOW a cartoon—and a classic voiced by Mel Blank!
