We are only as strong as our weakest link   Emotionally speaking, we have some pretty weak links. 

Let’s define strength so we are all on the same page to start. STRENGTH is the capacity of an object or substance to withstand great force or pressure according to google dictionary. 

Physically we can relate to this definition very easily. We have strength competitions, games and jobs. We seem to equate physical strength with power, as a god. Or at least, the patriarch has lead us to believe that. 

And, we also deem emotional responses other than happiness As a weakness. Interested enough I recently have been told by not just one person but several, that I don’t work, because I don’t go to physical job that is registered with the state to give me money. This accusation, rubbed me the wrong way this time though and got me contemplating this idea of strength as I retaliated in my head ~ I do work, and the work I do is some of the hardest work we can do as a person, in fact it takes a strength to do the kind of work I do that most do t understand because of their perception that physically strength is the only real source of power.
