But when the strong were too weak to hurt the weak, the weak have to be strong enough to leave.pg 75
In the book "The Unbearable Lightness of Being" by Milan Kundera, the author reflects on the dynamics of strength and vulnerability within relationships. He suggests that when those in power become incapable of oppressing the vulnerable, it falls upon the vulnerable to assert their own strength. This shift indicates a reversal of roles where the traditionally weaker individuals must find the courage to move on and seek their own freedom.
This idea emphasizes the importance of agency and resilience. It underscores that in circumstances where power dynamics change, it is essential for individuals who have historically been marginalized to recognize their own strength. By stepping away from relationships or situations that no longer serve them, they can reclaim their autonomy and pursue a more fulfilling existence.
