Strength 2: Acting Out

On July 4th a motorcyclist apparently tried to kick the driver of a Mazda Miata while they were still moving. He lost control of his bike and died when he collided with a tree. If the story is true, it serves him right. I wouldn't be surprised to see him win a Darwin Award.

Strength isn't just the physical ability or mental determination to do something, it's self-control and poise. It's the subjugation of impulsiveness and self-gratification to responsibility and good sense, something this guy was obviously lacking.

Too bad it's so hard to find examples of strength, while weakness is everywhere.
