Proof of the indomitable human spirit.

Rules:

Posts must inspire hope or highlight the beauty of existence
Posts and comments harassing or antagonizing a real person will be removed
Posts mentioning religious topics are allowed but religion should not be the main point of the post. E.g. “God’s beautiful world” is fine because of the “beautiful world” part, but “God loves you” isn’t because religion is the focal point
Posts and comments judging group of people in negative way based on stereotype will be removed.
No posts with toxic positivity. All human emotions are valid.
Staight up doomer/doomer-trolling comments will be removed. Reasonable disscustion and asking for hope is fine.

I'm not sure if Suffering O'Brien is necessarily the best choice for this meme, because it kinda implies that the moment things start looking up, a simulated lifetime of prison trauma is waiting around the next corner...

He also has a loving wife and two kids. He loves his job (most days) and seems genuinely fulfilled in life.

Yeah that's likely because DS9 is, at its core, an episodic series. If my life mostly reset every Monday, that would make things quite a bit more tolerable.

Sunday nights would certainly become interesting if everyone knew things go back to 1 on Monday.

He is the poster child for that exact reason. He keeps getting the shit end of the stick... but he keeps going because he has an awesome support system that makes everything better.

Despite everything that has happened, O'Brien has worked through it with counseling and the support of his family and friends. Something to aspire to if you get your fair share of hardships too.

Is the greatest advancement in Star Trek FTL travel? Teleporters? Replicators? No, it's that their therapists are available, affordable, and effective.

That feels about right.

It is an eternal meme. A trope. The Bibble has Job. Star Trek has Miles.
