V is For...

 
Vulnerability,
and also,
for Violence

Which many default to when accused of the former

A knee-jerk reaction based upon fear
misplaced, and often, incorrect

I believe Vulnerability is a tender spot,

Like an ancient manuscript it is easily damaged if mishandled,
but full of wonderful wisdoms and best protected by a loved one's careful touch

Not the same thing as Weakness,
Which as an inability to protect oneself
And requires an aggressive self-protection
'cause others may seek it
and destroy

To me,
there is a difference between Vulnerability and Weakness

I also believe Violence is an autocorrect for those see the "V" and that "W" as being the same thing

I believe that many would be less Violent in reaction
If...
They felt their tender spots would be protected instead of attacked

What do you believe?
And why?
