  26.     True strength requires flexibility. (Something that both of
  27. you are getting at somewhat anecdotally.)
  28.  
  29.     If you have a belief in something, and you do not fear to
  30. challenge it, then it is truly strong. Weak beliefs are the ones
  31. that must be held onto with the greatest indiscrimination and
  32. rigidity.
  33.  
  34.     I believe that this equation of strength with flexibility
  35. holds true regardless of one's sex.
