Strengthen the Strength

Perhaps I have been too good at this. Invested all too much into what were merely my mistakes and eliminating my weaknesses so that I have nothing else to consider. Listen to me I am sounding like Hitler. I've put too few eggs in a very large basket that has left me too hungry near my end. Perhaps my strength was to nurture the burdens of my many weaknesses so that I might teach them to be nearly as great as my God given strengths are. My weaker child as nearly as great as his father? For are we not, mankind, those very weaknesses to such a thing as God? Should I consider him a weaker God for having shown us such creative mercy? Lucky he didn't decide like me to destroy and bury all our weaknesses so that no one can know how many He once was responsible for and failed to triumph. So I enslaved and falsely imprisoned them in the dungeons of my subconscious below! And now I stand here most terribly weakened by the fact that I have not enough of these as strengthened attributes to account for and not a success to show for those sacrifices. I am horribly indebted to this failure. What have I done! I did all that was taught me, I paid their price! And perhaps why I have nothing to show for it! I dare not show emotion then something any less then stoic. Emotions are not strong enough they are signs of weakness required by love. So is this hate?
