True Strength Resides in Quietude
We tend to equate strength with outward expressions whether it be through physical power, emotional pressure, bullying, or the use of mental will force to achieve one’s intended results. We talk about “strong man” dictators who, in particular, use threats, bullying and police power to pressure people (and countries) to comply with their demands. The fact, however, that they have to use such outward manifestations of strength to convince others to carry out their wishes makes it clear that they are actually hiding their weaknesses, insecurities and fears.
