Vulnerability
Vulnerability is only weakness when one is unaware of them. It makes an easy target for an enemy to attack(a narcissists specialty). If a warrior were to enter battle in jeans and a t-shirt. The warrior would be vulnerable for a fatal strike leaving the individual to bleed all over their allies(hurt people hurt people), and also potentially making the allies vulnerable in their attempts to save and protect them. With the awareness of the vulnerabilities. The warrior will strengthen, fortify and protect the weaknesses. Through exercise, practice of techniques and evasiveness, and with armor. Turning the weakness into strength. The vulnerabilities will no longer create a fear or be a distraction. With wisdom, can be a trap for the enemy.
The importance of showing vulnerability
Showing vulnerability is a sign of trust and respect. Creating bonds and loyalty. If a warriors ally invites them into their home and the warrior doesn’t remove the armor or weapons after entering. This act will create a distrust and make the ally question the purpose of it. The next time they enter battle together, they may be distracted from the enemy in the need to watch their own back. Creating more weakness. This act can spiral and ultimately create an enemy from an ally. If you do not trust someone enough to remove your armor. Then there is no need to enter their house. On the other hand, when the warrior enters and removes their armor and weapons. It shows the ally that the warrior trusts the ally and respects the offer. Thus strengthening the bond, creating loyalty and giving a safe space to talk strategy. The next time they enter battle. They both can fight fully focused on the enemy knowing the other has their back. Creating more strength. The power of one becomes two, then four and so on. If the warrior is to expose a vulnerability they are aware of, an un aware enemy will reveal themself in attempts to exploit the weakness.
This concept can be applied to all relationships. Especially the most important relationship. The relationship with self.
