Stormy weather...

Light-tower, near Cobourg* W.H. Bartlett 1839
...literally and metaphorically.
"Character is formed in the stormy billows of the world." Goethe

*Gull Island is about 2.2km off shore midway between Cobourg & Port Hope.

Yes it is. I think this is why it is important not to shield children from every bit of discomfort and loss, it deprives them of important character building opportunities.
