Do we respect human weakness.....?

Question

like we respect human strength?

did we learn how to do that?

does human weakness deserve our respect?

all answers appreciated.

Answer 1

I don't think we do respect weaknesses. A lot of people make fun of others' weaknesses even though we all have them. I think we should have respect for weaknesses as the majority of our strengths come from a weakness that we once had.

Answer 2

By-in-large, no. We still exist in the tribe of the bull ape wherein only the strong may rule. If you are too weak, you are destroyed or driven out for the benefit of the tribe. Man cannot seem to rise above this.

Yet a weakness may be shown and if it does not jeopardize the tribe, it may be tolerated. However, it sets one apart and that can become dangerous in and of itself. If you are not wholly with tribe, then you may be a threat or can become one. The power within tribe regard this with suspicion. It is a quick step from suspicion to fact.

Answer 3

I don't know about respect.  Maybe just accepting it as a part of reality.  To deny our weaknesses is to live in a fantasy world, in my opinion.

Answer 4

I accept it in those I do not know, but have no respect for them.

I have a very hard time accepting weakness in those I know and care about. I have a friend who refuses to be responsible for herself, always looking for a man to step in and take care of her. It drives me up the wall. She's smart, good looking, she's a freaking cop so I know there's a spine in there somewhere, but when it comes to her life, she's just too weak to take the reins. It disgusts me and I have a hard time being more than just a casual friend with her as a result. Maybe that makes me a bad person, I dunno, but I can't help it.

Answer 5

I do respect my own weakness, Knowing that human is just imperfect. I don't know what reason I can have not to respect those of others too. Unless they can cause too much harm, Then I can be most probably weak of that too.

Answer 6

I think that most of us become stronger by feeding on other people's weaknesses .

Almost nobody respects human weaknesses .. unless they too have those same weaknesses . Only truly good people understand and respect the weaknesses in others .. without feeling superior or critical of the same .

Answer 7

Human weakness is a fact of life.... We all know it's there, and what the most common examples of it are..... If you make plans and use strategies that acknowledge this weakness,,,, you are much more likely to be successful.

Answer 8

from big falls came great victories,if human wasnt weak god would destroy earth,and as humans we must respect weakness and help  who in need

Answer 9

The definition of weakness, honour is a formidable strength yet becomes, with humanity a weakness amongst those who have none.

Love is the greatest power, cast into the den of the treacherous or deceitful it becomes a weakness or force of habit, a gentle tender wound content to bleed for others to feed and empower themselves.

Power is a great strength when overtly tolerant of the loud and vociferous manipulative weak, weakens and becomes nulled.

Man is a tower of strength, his trust and faith given to the unscrupulous or unprincipled becomes usurped and weakened.

The greatest powers are Love, God, Humanity… Bothe strong and tender, weakened and maligned…

Answer 10

I accept it, I do NOT respect it

Answer 11

No most humans don't respect weakness, most of us make fun of it to put down the person... And yes i do beleave that we "lurned" to do so from the people before us.

I also think that we should respect  human weaknesses because most of the strengths we have are made because of our weaknesses.

Answer 12

1st off people measure weakness differently..for some a sign of compassion may be a sign of weakness & the some that take a sign of compassion as a sign of weakness may also be seen as weak in the sense that they are not strong enough to see such a sign like compassion as those  who see it that way and not as a sign of weakness...technically everyone is guilty of being weak since no one is perfect there is room for weakness no matter how it is viewed...weak for a loved one, weak for being the bigger person, weak for sweets, weak for shoes, weak for not passing up a fantastic opportunity despite it hurting others, weak for not seeing things as others do....everyone sees nothing the same
