Resilience is important, grit is important. I say this having been on a very dark path when I was holding my personal world up with very little support (so little we can round down).

With that said, friends and resources are important and necessary. It is important to have someone you can call or text and say "I need help" and the cavalry is coming. Be that person to people in your life if you can be. I'm not able to fix society, but I'll take care of the people around me until death.

Calvary is the hill on which Jesus was crucified. I think you wanted to use “Cavalry” in context.

There's probably a lot more Christians talking about Calvary than there are military historians talking about an obsolete horse unit. Although it does seem like if it's uncapitalized it's likely to be military horses and not geographical locations. I bet trying to optimize autocorrect is a fun challenge!

In italian "La vita è un calvario", in french "La vie est une calvaire" and in spanish "La vida es un calvario" they all mean "Life is an ordeal" or "Life is a torture". May be the context of the topic plays a role here much more that the geography location.

huh I thought it was Golgotha, but apparently Calvary is the Latin name for the place and Golgotha the Greek. funny that I've never heard of Calvary.
