What strength is? Is it the power of muscles, tendons or bones?
No! Strength, the real strenth s perserverance, is self-reliance, is self-discipline, is the enjoyment of the absence, the lack of need.
The self-control given by the experience, the experience given by the observation, the knowledge coming from the meditation against us and others…
The power does not come from the avoidance, the power comes from embracing the whole aspect of life and living in the fullest, with all joy, pain, sadness and happiness combined.
Without pain there is not pleasure, without sadness there is not joy, and without all of this there is not strenght.
Simone Berliat
