No boundaries can definitely be a big problem. These days there seems to be too much of the "do what you feel" attitude rather than striving to do what is right. Would love to hear about how we can give Issac more credit

I think there is definitely a reference to both feminine nature and feminine physicality whenever the spiritual dimensions are mentioned. Because we exist in both body and spirit.
Re: Isaac/Yitzhak...he is associated with gevurah, or truth/judgment and might. Chesed and gevurah balance each other. It's said that through gevurah even Abraham (associated with chesed). Moral strength and judgment are so key to balance. It allows us to get perspective and to maintain healthy boundaries and make appropriate decisions, big and small. I think it is HIGHLY underrated, LOL...highly.
People withhold for the wrong reasons, it's true. And people also indulge for the wrong reasons. There is not so much a lack of love and strength but a lack of right-on-time, focused love and strength. If you spill water on the pavement, it's as if you never had it. If you drink it, or water the plants...it was just what you needed, when you needed it...and you are healed and sustained
