Hitting Rock Bottom

We are taught that strength is good and a person who is perceived as strong is successful.

So, we start to make ourself strong and we become rocks.  We workout so that our bodies are solid and hard as a rock.  We expect our men to show no weakness to be strong, to be our rock.  We take comfort in our strength because we are strong, but are we really?

Throughout our lifetime, we have moments of strength and weakness.  You must have rocks in your head if you don't see that.  You have to dwell in the weakest parts of yourself in order to appreciate your own strength because when you see a rock coming, it hurts less.  We should not strive to be strong but to understand our weaknesses.

We are only what we have the strength to perceive.  We are rocks.
