Vulnerability is neither good nor bad. It is just a part of life, and if one experiences it, one can feel things. When one avoids vulnerability, one may miss a lot of good things. Vulnerability is a source of pain and grief and the root of many positive things.
The author makes a strong point in favour of accepting personal weakness or shame. It happens with everyone, but hardly anyone dares to take and shout it. The courage is in bringing one’s shame into light and address it to tear apart. Children can only inherit qualities that the parents possess, so one must be organized and confident to become a strong parent. One must always try to make their home a shame-free zone.
