“Strength must build up, not destroy.It should outdo itself, not others who are weaker.Use

“Strength must build up, not destroy.
It should outdo itself, not others who are weaker.
Used without responsibility, it causes nothing but harm and death.
I can lift the heaviest weights, but I can not take the responsibility off my shoulders.
Because the way we use our strength defines our fate.
What traces will I leave on my path into the future,
Do we really have to kill in order to live?
My true strength lies in not seeing weakness as weakness.
My strength needs no victims.
My strength is my compassion.”
