No Shame in Weakness

Today, I talked with someone about how, sometimes, people let their pride stop them from seeking help and what a tragic waste that is. All of us need help from time to time. After all, we're only human. There is no shame in having weakness. However, there is a certain strength in having the wisdom to seek help. Those who seek help often get it, and that help gives them an advantage. Everyone has weakness, but only those with enough courage to acknowledge their weakness can get the help they need to make up for it. So, acknowledging a weakness is not, itself, a sign of weakness; it's a sign of strength. There is no shame in having a weakness, but it takes a certain kind of strength to acknowledge that weakness.
