Human strength . . . . does not require the pitting-against, the exploitation-of human weakness in order to realize itself. This is not strength but weakness in itself. This kind of human strength starts at level ground and assumes to gain its height by pressing down everything else around it into greater subterranean darkness. Human strength -- the genuine kind -- has no need for its complementary companion of weakness; does not require simple contrast to manifest itself. Human strength -- genuine human strength -- leaves weakness behind; has no need of its companionship to measure what it does; what it is doing. Genuine human strength is occupied with something else . . . .
