"This sense of shared weakness creates what is truly a community. Participants in such a setting learn to appreciate rather to resent strengths in others because we they know that, at bottom, that they are the same- flawed and imperfect. Those who do not recognize shared weakness see in others' strengths as a threat. But those who recognize shared weakness see in others' strength as hope: the hope that your strengths might also support me, With shared weakness as our common bond, we can rejoice in another person's strengths rather than be threatened by them." -- the spirituality of imperfection.
