Vulnerability

The dictionary says it's a noun, not a verb? "the quality or state of being exposed to the possibility of being attacked or harmed, either physically or emotionally."

I guess we all start out ultimately vulnerable? Completely, ultimately vulnerable. Scary to imagine? Yet, if we survive it is because we are cared for. Love seems to make the difference. We've all read accounts of an animal raising an animal of another species, maybe because it is vulnerable, or love? Or both?

I hadn't considered it, until I watched the little 2 minute video below, but old birds no longer fly and there are no nursing homes for them. So the younger birds, of any species feed them. That's a great message for human beings. Even when they seem to be grouchy, the provider, provides.

On the same theme, as babies and children we have no choice but to be vulnerable, but eventually many become cautious until they can trust. So trust is often just as important as we mature. Sometimes this trust is broken, and the repair necessary, depending on the break may or may not be accomplished.
