Dear Kurt, 
There's something really astounding about the way people act when their weaknesses are exposed. Like the common place of a mask we use to protect ourselves,we live in a comfort zone - this place of ours where we are only what we feel good being.
It's part of the human nature, I guess, to feel uncomfortable exposing their worst abilities. Their vulnerable points. We can go through weeks acting as we are expected to, doing what we are good at, because it's what we repeatedly do or just because it comes from an inner talent. However, it's only when an unexpected situation comes out of nowhere and crosses our way that our true nature is revealed. Who we really are is not only what we constantly do, but mainly how we act when something out of our daily routine happens.
Believe me, interesting things can be observed in a person we know from everyday life, when they're out of their comfort zone, but more interesting I found to analyse our own reactions in moments like those. That's when we really get to know ourselves, what makes us weak, what fazes us... The impulsiveness, the fragility, the unsteadiness. 
I think there's nothing wrong in conciliating both opposite poles: the strength and the weakness. I even consider that the beauty of human nature resides in having the potential to be whatever they want, to decide which side to feed and show, the originality of responses we can give in the same day to completely different situations. And to conciliate what the world requires us to be with how we feel. 
Humans are both a beautiful and frightening energy of this world due to their complexity.
If only we could just use our weaknesses as ways to know ourselves better, maybe this could all be different. Maybe this could all be more acceptable. 

«Peace, love, empathy.»
