Trust

The Strong man believes there is more to gain through only putting his trust in others. The Weak man believes there is more to gain by never putting his trust in others. The Wise man knows to only trust the man who puts trust's priority in trusting himself.

The Strong man could be a sort of businessman figure, dominant, with many people under him. He trusts these people to do his work for him and believes everybody likes him. He relies on others for his own gain. He is in a position of strength and power because of this endless amount of trust given. However, this endless trust will often turn Strong men into Weak men.

The Weak man rarely considers himself weak, the interesting bit, is he usually considers himself strong because of his trust nobody, self reliance, thought pattern. However, without putting trust in others, he will naturally receive less respect. People will wonder why he does not trust them, naturally isolating the weak man from them. He will always be treated in ways that will make it difficult to acheive everything there could possibly be to gain from relationships with others due to his Fear.

The Wise man is basically the "moral".

If the Strong man had trusted himself, he would know that in order to "gain", he must trust his own decisions. He is putting himself in a bad situation by trusting everybody. Had he established self trust, he would not end up being taken advantage of, or creating his false security of assuming everybody likes him. He would already have trusted and liked himself.

If the Weak man had trusted himself, he would know that in order to "gain" he must be capable of trusting his choices of companions, friends, etc. This doesn't really need to be stretched out anymore, I think the point is made.

Seeeeeyaaaa.
