I think there IS a place for us all....I just don't think we are all reflected well in this society, because the people with the lenses are usually threes, or ones, or eights, etc. etc.....But we don't need to see ourselves through the filter they see us through...It's not at all accurate......I'm not trying to say it isn't hard...I struggle everyday to see myself in a different light than the one the world sees me in ....Useless.....But I don't want to be useful to the agendas of this world.....I don't believe in them.....Fours are precious because they have the STRENGTH to be compassionate....I am a 6w5 and I know a little about adopting the rational, intellectual, sans emotion "strength".., I used to think that that was what I had to do to survive...So I developed my five nature...But it didn't really take strength to follow along with the masses and become a robot...It took will power, maybe, and focus, but not strength...It's actually an act of weakness and cowardice, I think.....True strength is to follow your instincts and true nature whether or not the world supports it...and so it takes a lot of strength my friends, in this world, to be compassionate and emotional......
