Weakness?

It hurts, it is painful, etc. etc. etc.

Is this a real excuse for us to abandon what we are? To completely change who we were?

The asnwer is: NO!

Of course it hurts. But we are supposed to do what we have to do. I am not going to stop myself because I got stabbed by some sort of blade.

We need to remember that we can't rely on the same support forever. No matter how strong it is. Otherwise, whenever we change out position or somehow get away from it, we will fall.

We need to stop using things as excuses and keep on moving towards our objective. This doesn't mean we can't rely on the external world to help us. But we can't count with it all the time.

United we are stronger. This doesn't mean that we are weak alone.
