Summary

This quote suggests that people's true character is revealed through different circumstances. Strong characters, those who are resilient and determined, are often tested and shaped by changes and challenges they encounter in life. On the other hand, gentle characters, those who are kind and steady, shine through in moments of stability and permanence. This implies that our reactions and behavior can vary depending on the situation we find ourselves in, and that our true character reveals itself in times of both change and permanence.
