unABLE To Fail
Robert M. Hensel once said, "There is no greater disability in society than the inability to see a person as more." As a society, we are easily offended when someone labels or judges us by our gender, race, or religion...but many are quick to limit and degrade an entire population because of their medical diagnoses. It's a disturbing, aggravating, and hypocritical characteristic of human nature. I rarely get angry, but when someone uses the term "retard" or associates something as "retarded", it really infuriates me. To mock and put down a person or population living with disabilities is cowardly and disrespectful. Whether it's an intellectual, physical, or emotional disability, we are all still humans on the inside. We are all capable of accomplishing whatever we put our minds towards, regardless of the conditions we are born into. We all feel emotions, wish upon the stars, and chase down our dreams. We all have special talents that make us unique and we all have certain things we're unable to do. No one should be brought down or harassed due to their inabilities. Where we fall in one ability, we rise and shine in other abilities.

A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing
We all know the origins of the phrase "a wolf in sheep's clothing." The story goes, a wolf decides to dress up as a sheep to get closer to its prey without being noticed by the herder. Every time the sheep herder leaves, the wolf eats the sheep. The wolf's plan backfires when there are no more sheep left and the herder discovers the wolf and kills it for dinner. In today's society, the phrase is commonly related to deceitful individuals who mimic their target in order to get in close proximity and attack at the first available opportunity. This can not only be applied to physical people, but to mental illnesses as well.

Which Is Stronger: Muscle or Mentality?
How much can you bench bro? What's your max squat? How about your deadlift PR? We tend to measure strength only by how much we can lift over our heads. I'll admit, it takes a strong individual to be able to go into a gym and lift two to three times their body weight. It takes a even stronger individual to lift themselves up after being knocked down time and time again. It does not matter how many muscles you build or hours you spend at the gym, a strong body can still be weak if it possess a fragile or poor mentality.
