Summary

This quote highlights the paradoxical nature of human existence. On one hand, it recognizes the resilience and toughness of mankind, emphasizing their innate strength. The comparison to materials like iron and stone implies a sense of durability and endurance. On the other hand, the contrast with the fragility of a rose suggests that beneath this tough exterior, humans possess a vulnerability. This serves as a reminder that despite their strength, humans are also susceptible to emotional, physical, and mental fragility, which should be acknowledged and understood.
