my condition

My will is weak, my strength is frail.

I may think that I am weak, when really the problem is that I am strong.

Why don't I just give in?

Hi mlejane,

I attempted to respond to your comment but wasn't able to as I got a blank page every time. So I am responding here and hopefully you will receive this.

I LOVE to write but recently haven't had the time. Work has been just way over the top which is why I just gave my notice last week and am moving to Florida. Hopefully soon I will again find the time to put keystroke to electronic paper and create fun with words. If you were to have me write on any topic or topics what would you choose me to write on?

P.S. I chose this post to leave my message on so I could comment. I am not sure exactly what you are referring to when you say you are weak but really strong but I have a idea.

The thought that we give in because we are weak is a fallacy which you refer to in this blog but typically we hear over and over how we gave in because we are just weak. I do not believe this is true. I believe we give in (to temptation, to food, to sex, to peer pressure etc, you fill in the blank) because our will is too strong. It is so strong in fact that we end up doing things our spirit might not want to do but our selfish will insists we do (I separate the will from the spirit here). If we could overcome our strong will then we wouldn't succumb to whatever tempts us to fall.

Overcoming, something we all struggle with. From your posts I get the feeling that you know how to overcome but still encounter struggles.
