Strength

1. In some places strength is considered the most important quality in a human being. I don't agree with this personally however I want to make a few points.


2. If you want to fight or attack something, attack something that is bigger than yourself. It's not right to say that a person is strong because they attack or kill something that is small, weak or vulnerable.


3. It is the role of the strong people in the community to protect the weak and vulnerable, not to kill them.


4. Kindness and compromise are not signs of weakness. A strong person can do these things.


5. A person who damages another person is due to be punished. It is not enough to damage another person and say 'This means that I am strong, so I should be honoured and respected.'. Damaging another person is wrong and should have consequences.

A person should not be honoured if they use their strength to damage an innocent person.
