    What is a strong or weak man? Who defined what it is to be a strong or weak man? Why are men the only indicator of a good or bad times? Do the experiences and perspectives of people who are not strong men provide no insight in to what are considered good or bad times?

    I would like to know the goal of posting a broad statement such as this. It just seems like a statement to create more personal and “weaker” enemies. Having more enemies sounds exhausting. Or maybe I’m reading into it wrong.

      You really can’t decipher the meaning? It implies strength is being able to live and survive in hard times, and those who do are in a greater position to improve things for the future than those who have grown and lived in more stable times. Those who’ve only known stability lack the understanding to cope with some of the changes as we are now experiencing. It further claims those who’ve lived in stability put others at risk.

        Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. Weak men create hard times.

        If I’m understanding you, this is about leadership? Is leadership what separates strong men from weak men? Is it solely men in leadership positions that define strong/weak men? Are men in leading role the only source of indicating good times/bad times?

        It seem like anyone who is not a man and not strong has very little input if this statement believed to be true.
