Today I am feeling the need to address you in a personal way that can be best done human to human. I wish to talk with you about strength and vulnerability.
Most people probably think of vulnerability as synonymous with getting hurt.
When you are vulnerable and trust, something great could happen but usually that will end sometime and you will feel pain. Thus we think of vulnerability as including fear. The same could be said for our idea of strength. Strength has typically been synonymous with protecting ourselves. When you are strong, you think, you are less likely to get hurt or at least you can recover fairly quickly.
