This is a much needed post. We live in the weakest civilization our planet has ever seen. We avoid every stress in life by going shopping or plugging into an alternate reality. As you wisely said strength lies within us. All I need to do is remember the strife and struggles my ancestors faced and conquered to ensure I could be born. We are facing many enemies, mostly unseen, that attack us daily. Advertisements, the food we eat, attacks on culture and identity. I love this post!
