Our greatest strengths are our greatest weaknesses


Our greatest strengths I feel comes from being a good and loving person and the world will say, there lays our weaknesses. A good and loving person tends to forgive, believe the best of every body and always cares about the next person. As we have it, the world is an evil place to live in; and evil people are always ready to take advantage of the good people.

Being a good and loving person is a good thing and that is how life should be. I strongly believe that, we are all here to look out for each other. There shouldn’t be “thinking twice” before doing good to the next person.

I say being a good and loving person is our greatest strengths because it helps you have a sense of personal achievement. For instance, when in your power you lend a helping hand to someone in need, it gives you a sense of purpose and you will definitely grow (a reason for our existence). A helping hand could be in the form of forgiving someone who wronged you, or helping someone with their school work by teaching them. Their progress will make you feel useful to society and humanity as a whole, because you are being a positive influence to them, hence, a sense of personal growth and achievement on your part.

On the other hand, because you are a good and loving person, people might play you for a full and take advantage of your goodness. You will get your heartbroken every time by people who you thought they deserve your love and goodness. They know that you are such a lovely person and you will not give to pride or vengeance, because you don’t believe in such to resolve issues. At the end, you end up getting hurt over and over. Yet even with that, it makes you stronger.

Personally, I feel that our greatest strengths are not weaknesses. It’s just that some of us are so weak that when we get hurt once, we vow never again and make other people’s life miserable and it goes like that – a circle that never stops. You don’t need to be evil to be strong.  To the good people, don’t just be good and loving but be wise as well.
