Perhaps people are less frail than religions give them credit for being. I have seen no evidence that human beings are frail. I have seen evidence that they can convince themselves they are frail. I have seen evidence that they can convince themselves they are ugly when they are beautiful. That they can convince themselves they are fat when they are dying from starvation. That they can convince themselves that they are in love when they are with a person who is killing them. I think people are incredibly strong and have an endless capacity for changing reality with their minds. But that's just what I think. Perhaps that's what makes all the difference.
