True strength lies in submission which permits one to dedicate his life, through devotion, to something beyond himself.
Henry Miller
I find a lot of truth in a quote like this. I’m a military man with quite a few combat tours under my belt. Does this mean I am weak because I am a submissive? Ask the people I’ve left bruised and bloody in my travels. It means we all yearn for something bigger than ourselves - to be a part of something and feel the belonging. We just find it in different ways.
I think in a case such as this, it takes more courage to offer my surrender than it does to attempt a victory.
