"Angry people want you to see how powerful they are...loving people want you to see how powerful You are." - Chief Red Eagle
I saw this on face book and wanted to share it.
I always said there was a difference between being tough and being strong. I always thought that the "tough" "angry" "violent" people had a weakness they were trying to hide, while the strong people knew their weakness and have come to terms with that weakness. Sometimes our weakness is what makes us strong.
When a person is so aggressive in proving their power they are hiding a deeper feeling of inadequacy.When a person is showing someone else how powerful and strong the other person is that feeling of inadequacy becomes a feeling of joy for the other person and their accomplishments.
I guess it is a question of where your ego lies. If you are comfortable with who you are you can praise another person for who they are without trying to fight for power.
