Through the hard times with each other

We seem to need each other more than ever through a hard time.

Being together through a hard time can lighten the load.

There is something comforting about being with people, through hard times, as well as good times.

Humans in hard times can support, encourage and help each other. Just being there may even be enough. The presence of people can uplift us.

Though in some moments, drawing closer to each other in a hard time may seem like drawing water from a stone.

Why do tough times draw people together?

People are made for each other, to support each other, to connect, and to be friends, through hard times and good times.

It is no wonder that thirty-three miners trapped in a gold and copper mine were able to draw on each other through their difficulty, because they are made for each other, in The 33 (2015, USA), available on DVD/Blu-ray.

And a wonderful thing through it all is that the thirty three miners become good friends.

Therefore, hard times with people can result in enriched relationships.

In this together

There is camaraderie between workers, as their workplace, a gold and copper mine, collapses. The men in the mine went through this arduous time for sixty-nine days and found they bonded like ‘brothers’.

It is an unusual sort of dynamic: bad things happen and people draw closer together.

Yet the distinguishing point is that they do the tough time together. Being together helps them through it.

This theme reminds me of a similar idea in Into the Storm (2014, USA). After a storm wreaks havoc through a township in America, they still have each other, and together can salvage the destruction.
