THE WEAK CAN ALSO
BE POWERFUL

Georges Bidault (1899-1983) was a French politician. While it is hard to agree with his general views, one of his sayings is especially meaningful. He said:

“The weak have one weapon, the errors of those who think they are strong.”

The biggest weakness in this world is to think of oneself as powerful. A person who starts to believe they are powerful is likely to make mistakes. Such a person, in their arrogance of power, becomes careless about strategy. And for someone who becomes careless about strategy, defeat is certain because no one in this world is so powerful that they don’t need strategy.

Whenever someone feels that their opponent, in their arrogance of power, is tormenting them, they should realize that their opponent is now giving them a weapon against themselves. In such cases, one should try to become familiar with their opponent’s activities.

A person’s study will inevitably lead them to realize that a certain weakness has developed in their opponent and is gradually growing. The person should identify this weakness and fully exploit it, and they will surely succeed in defeating their opponent.

In this world, the weak can also be strong, and the strong can also be weak. God has not granted anyone complete weakness or total power. Everyone has the chance to succeed, even in seemingly tough conditions. The key is to use their God-given intellect wisely.
