people hear the word strength and many things come to mind. the strength of mind. strength of body. power of words. power of negatives. physical strength. the latter is usually the one i think of.
now that i'm open to all ideas and probabilities it becomes clear that a words meaning can be misconstrued. this is no news flash to most of us. in fact i'm sure i've come upon this conclusion myself a time or two on my own before. it may have even been taught by my parents or teachers. in a shouting match when i was too angry to see the light in the reasoning.
it's hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel with your eyes closed. it's hard to see how badly words hurt if you're focused solely on one eventuality. it's hard to follow someone elses advice if you refuse to follow your own.
hypocrites will lose all they have. falseness yields false responses. feeling trapped makes any animal, human or otherwise, want to break free of his restraints.
this is a broad subject. covering broad things. it isn't focused on any one person or any one thing.
it's merely my understanding of why things haven't worked out for me. and what i can do to remember it for the rest of my life.
to teach my daughter not to repeat my mistakes... that is my greatest aspiration.
to not repeat my own mistakes... that's a healthy secondary plan.
to learn from other people's mistakes... that's just gravy.
