Diamonds form under pressure — enough pressure, truly immense, but not so much that formation is prevented. There's an optimal point: sufficient to produce greatness, but not so extreme that it destroys the possibility of it.
Even creation has a golden mean. Pushing the pursuit of perfection too far can yield the very weakness, disorder, and imperfection meant to be avoided.
Not all destruction is transcendent; some is merely the byproduct of a craftsperson hammering tools until those tools are bent out of shape.
Too much pressure is as real a danger as too little. Being unable to withstand unlimited pressure is not evidence of weakness — that notion is absurd.
