Being strong is not related to having might. It’s the ability to connect, communicate and empathize that makes us powerful.
“The law of evolution is that the strongest survives! Yes, and the strongest, in the existence of any social species, are those who are most social. In human terms, most ethical. There is no strength to be gained from hurting one another. Only weakness.”
— Ursula K. Le Guin
