A remark came up during a recent conversation with a friend: “I feel like ‘so-and-so’ is stronger than me.”
That is not an uncommon feeling that we sometimes do feel like someone is stronger than us. However, on reflection, what does it mean by “stronger”?
Perhaps we can look at the word “STRENGTH” which is closely related to the word “strong”.
In another word, what are your strengths? Everyone has different strengths and weaknesses. It is rarely that one person has absolutely all the strengths while another person has none.
A person can be strong in loving others, caring for others and encouraging others. Bringing joy and happiness to others people’s lives is also a strength. Being kind and generous is a virtue as well as a strength. For example, a mother is a strong person because of her love for her child. That is a very powerful and strong love.
I would say we are all STRONG (have strengths) in different ways. Look up and open our eyes.
