Each of us has our share of imperfections. We either choose to ignore them, fighting them off with denial or to accept them and begin to realize just what it is that makes us human. The strongest people know they have weaknesses. The strongest people aren't scared of imperfection. The strongest people know words can only go so far.
Courage often makes no noise.
It enters without a sound and often goes without recognition. The silence creeps in slowly, envelopes you, draws you into its embrace. Words and actions become a choice that is not required, that remains optional. The deepest relationships are not characterized by pressure or force. We lapsed back into silence.
