When you say that people are weak, what do you mean?Weakness refers to a relationship, the relationship between organisms and their living environment.An insect is strong if its physical strength exceeds its needs, but an elephant, a lion, a conqueror, a hero, even God himself, is weak in so far as his needs exceed his capabilities.An angel who does not know his own nature and goes his own way is weaker than a mortal who lives peacefully according to his nature.A man is strong when he is content with himself, but weak if he tries to do more than he can.Therefore, do not think that you can increase your power by increasing your power.This is impossible.If your self-esteem is inflated, your strength will be weakened.Let us measure our extent, and within it, as the spider stays in its web, there will always be strength enough to satisfy its needs, and we will not have reason to lament our weakness, for we are not at all Will be aware of weakness.
