Resilience: etymology
According to the etymology of the word, resilience means: “act of rebounding or springing back,”, “to rebound, recoil,”. In physical sciences, the meaning is “elasticity, power of returning to original shape after compression”.
Symbolically, the latter is also applicable to our emotional life.
According to the definition of the word, resilience is the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties; toughness.

Very interesting approach Elissavet. I just have a quick question: Maxime Lagacé says Resilience: is the art of caring for the right things.
Can you explain that further?
Thank you
