Strength
STRENGTH
The weak cannot become strong
By struggling they only make themselves weaker
The strong are eternally strong
They recognise their weakness

How true! A short and simple reminder, wonderful.

You are kind, Bella. Are we not each in essence both, with the way in which we manage ourselves determining which element we tend to manifest more commonly?

I wonder if we simply become one or the other by deciding to do so… Or does that deciding require strength first… In which case… ?

Oops. It seems I should have read this before replying to Bella’s comment. But then I should have been writing this to you instead to her. As it is, you’ll have to share. I’m sure she won’t mind. 🙂

Lesleehare, I believe dear Ben when he says we may be in essence of both, and I believe we are, but that “suffering” either grows strength within you or a perpetual cycle of struggle for the weak minded…it’s all in the belief in ones self, in my opinion that contains the strength.

and yes I do we believe we can be one or the other in some way or the other….just depends on the person.
