Strength is not brute force. Strength is not
turning down help when you need it. Strength
is not acquiring as much wealth as possible.
Strength is not ignoring suffering in others
while blaming them for it. Strength is not
telling people to be afraid. Strength is not
my way or the highway. Strength is not going
it alone. Strength is not inspiring animosity.
Strength is not holding this world dear while
speaking of another. Strength is not rushing
into battle without first knowing an opponent.
Strength is not proud, ignorant, or defensive.
