What, truly, is strength? What makes a person strong?

Hmm?

It's their will to be strong, isn't it?

[Voice]

[crescentlocus]

But is that all?

[Voice]

[hiddenpower]

Well, no, but that's most of it.

I mean, if you're really powerful, but you have no will behind your strength other than just selfish gain, then you might as well be weak. It doesn't matter how powerful you can be as a fighter, all that really matters is what you fight for and why.

Your will to be strong for your friends, your will to fight for what's right.

That's what makes you strong.

[crescentlocus]

Well spoken. Thank you.

[ned_piemaker]

...knowing when not to fight.

[crescentlocus]

... Elaborate.

[liveandforgive]

Determination with strength.

You're only as strong as your beliefs are in what you're fighting for.

[crescentlocus]

Determination with strength, you said. But that is precisely my question. What is that strength?

[politicsplayboy]

Conviction in your beliefs and a willingness to stand up for them/ Not changing what you believe in based on the people around you.

[crescentlocus]

But what good is willingness if no action is taken?

[politicsplayboy]

If you're willing, then you'll take action. If you're not willing, you won't take action. It's as simple as that. If you actually believe in your beliefs, you'll stand up for them. If you don't, then you won't, and that means you're weak.

Also, being able to admit your weaknesses is, and takes strength.

[crescentlocus]

That last one's always the most difficult.

[soulinflight]

Knowing how to ask questions like these.

[crescentlocus]

Is it?

[soulinflight]

Well... that ain't as poetic as some of the answers you're getting.

But you can't be strong if you don't know when you're not.

[crescentlocus]

... Do you think I'm strong, Aligoté? Honestly?
