Guest guest Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 While of course willpower is very important, I tend to feel that this sort of attitude winds up serving as a reason not to address important root causes of problems (e.g. widespread malnutrition) and a justification for blaming the " weak " for their " weaknesses " -- after all, if they just had some willpower and spirit, they'd stop whining and transcend their so-called physical limitations. - > in my opinion, there are just some things that transcend physical > make-up. i think strong wills and spirits can accomplish anything > regardless of what we may see as weaknesses.
