You shouldn't be seen as weak ????

Who ever made that statement? Society needs strong individuals, not pure spiritual beings.
"Just shut up and carry on, you are not allowed to whine."

thank you

Define "strong."

Does the definition of "strong" automatically exclude pure spiritual beings? And if so...why?

Not sure what you're asking. When you say "Society needs strong individuals, not pure spiritual beings" you seem to be answering the question in your subject line. Are you simply venting?

I haven't read too many of your posts in the past, so maybe I just don't know your personal style.

What is it you want people to answer, or comment on?

I think people are understanding stress issues more now.

Understanding?
I thought that there are imbalances between masculine and feminine energy. In Sweden for example they tried 6 hour work days. What the researches found out was that people were more effective because they had more time to spend with their friends and family. <3

Only you know what you should be and what is your true expression in this life.

And to be a gentle soul, that is a fine thing!

The gentle, kindly souls of the world may be quiet and unassuming but they leave their mark in a way no others can.
They are remembered, with love.

Umbridge, it is hard when we are honest with ourselves and our society and can't help but be what others need to see in themselves. I think it is a case of this and they really should take heed... it's the long haul that counts and all these throwing supposed strength around will see in years to come that you'd picked the right walk.

Because society doesn't want weak robots, they want strong ones. Ones that don't break or ask questions.

Learning to be vulnerable and be you, will always be met with a reflection to stand firmer as you if you are not ok, being that way fully.....:)
