Redness and Weakness

They are strong who are apathetic, who care about nothing and from whom nothing can be taken. For indeed there is nothing they have to be taken thus they cannot be hurt. In this manner, it is true joy and virtue to be weak, even (or some might contend especially) when there exist but one or two persons or possessions so exceedingly precious that if taken would beget in one an abyss, an anemia as if a rose lost her rubescence and her petals their twirl.
