Hedge,

Strength is not physical. It can not be measured by how much one can lift, or how hard one strikes a blow. No, Hedge. You will not find strength in your body.

True strength comes from within. True strength is doing what is right, even when it might be easier to use force. This is something Christair has yet to learn about strength.

The man insults my faith, my heritage and my friends. I am stronger then he, Hedge, because I have the strength to endure it. I have the strength to walk away. There is little question that I could stop him with force, but that would show true weakness. I'd rather die by his hand then deny my conviction.

Be wary of the paths you take in life, be good to you fellow man and I know you will be truely strong one day. Nothing of true worth in life comes easily, Hedge. Did you even pray like we discussed you would?

Health to you, and yes, strength as well.
