It deserves a thorough explanation, though that gives some impression. Simply put, what it is is the ability to survive and retain sanity under the most extreme pressure and deprivation -poverty, isolation and persecution. Genuine hardness is not physical-we all have the same physical tolerances-but mental and, well, almost spiritual. It's not something you can ever learn. You have to be born into a deprivation on the level of Hell, and raised in it until it is all you know, to be called hard by me.

But it could've been put a lot worse. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.254.81.209 (talk) 08:25, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
