In the Old Man and the Sea by Ernst Hemingway, Santiago says, “A man can be destroyed but not defeated”. It simply throws light on the strong determination of a person that never let him to give up any thing in life irrespective of the count of failures he commit during achievement of his target…..
Hemingway had beautifully epitomized these two words Destroyed and Defeated in this statement which optimizes radical courage of a man.
A man can be destroyed, a man can be killed , a man can be ruined , a man can be wrecked or shattered……it’s quite possible at times, a man can become physically weak or disabled in its certain abilities to perform tasks….BUT the important thing is that even though if this physical destruction exists, that man cannot be defeated…and by defeat it signifies lose of hope to win…the mental status of a man of not letting its inner pride falling down…a never giving up attitude and zeal of making goal even in the toughest of hard time field…
In short, Hemingway exemplified the fighting spirit of a man and firm determination which only leads to success ….
Destruction is a temporary state of body…while Defeat is a permanent state of mind…And it is clear that Mind is our boss who is difficult to conquer…..
