Weakness

Daily Meditation 989–11/17/2024

A short DM.

Weak men hide weakness with what they misperceive as behaviors of strength.

A weak person will puff out their chest.
A weak person will talk loudly.
A weak person will attempt to sound like an authority.
A weak person will endeavor to be a bully.

And they will do all of this with intention.

A strong person doesn’t need to puff up — they just are puffed up.
A strong person isn’t loud — they are charismatic.
A strong person is an authority — and the proof is that you “just know” they are.
A strong person isn’t a bully — they will rib you in good nature.

You can always tell strength from weakness by how genuine the behaviors of the “actor” are. A truly strong person makes it seem effortless, whereas the weak person is the “actor” who is merely attempting to act out the role.
