About this Quote

This quote by Laura Hillenbrand is a comparison between the impacts of fatigue and the impacts of an atomic bomb. Hillenbrand is recommending that fatigue is a much smaller sized, but still considerable, force than an atomic bomb. Fatigue is something that we all experience in our every day lives, however it can still have a powerful impact on our lives. It can trigger us to feel drained, unmotivated, and not able to focus. In comparison, an atomic bomb is a far more effective force that can trigger damage on a much larger scale. Hillenbrand is suggesting that tiredness, while much less powerful than an atomic bomb, can still have a considerable influence on our lives. It is important to recognize the impacts of tiredness and take actions to manage it in order to preserve our health and wellbeing.
