Thought this thread could use one final disclaimer. What it means to be weak and recognizing our own short comings... If we trfyto do all tgings within our own power we realize how frail we are as the sole proprieter of our own destinies. But when we reach out to others in need, we are actually becoming all the stronger through the acceptance of our weakness. If we lie to ourselves or act through our egos thinking we are what we are actually not, then will the weakness bring us all the lower,not to kick us while we are down,but to reach up in renewed strength while being humbled. So, I believe, it is better to accept the obstacles that line our path through life, because without adversity, where could we find our strength? Squeeky wheels may get the grease, but whose to sat about the silent cog that goes on no matter the friction.
