The tough surface

[Rani G2]

This comes into my mind everytime I think of flying to my home country. Even here I come across people who appear to be very strong and reseliant. Not carrying their misery very visible. There is absolutely nothing wrong about that, even I tend to be more on the “suck it up and move on“track.

Even today, I feel this strange need to be more toughend up. I fear “weakness“, but what is weak? Who is weak?

Just thinking

 

[Killashandra]

weak
wiːk/
adjective

1. 1.
   lacking the power to perform physically demanding tasks; having little physical strength or energy.
   synonyms: frail, feeble, puny, fragile, delicate, weakly;
   
   
2. 
   liable to break or give way under pressure; easily damaged.

This is the dictionaries meaning of weak.
How we see this word individually is completely different. Weak, to me, applies only to inanimate objects. Humans, are vulnerable and it's how we protect our vunerablity that defines our strength.

I understand what you mean though, but I don't use weak as the word. I'm vulnerable right now, with my anxiety and depression and I feel this urge to toughen up, because this vunerablity is effecting my life too much. No one is Weak. However We are all vulnerable. I have found that those who pretend to be invulnerable are the posers. The ones who accept and own thier vulnerability are the ones with the strength.
Just my thoughts.
