This is a world where people feel that strength is a positive attribute. It is, but sometimes it works against us. A strong person has certain things expected of them. The bar is set high. It is assumed that they can handle the burden and do not need a helping hand. On the flip side is the fragile person. They are treated with a very light hand. If you expect too much of them, they might crack like a fine piece of china. They are never given too much responsibilities and the bar is set low. At my age, I no longer want to be the strong one. I want to be fragile and nurtured.
