Man often like thin ice, prone to cracking and breaking, weak. Desire is a weakness, food is a weakness, alcohol and drugs a weakness, sex a weakness. All this weight makes ice crack like honorable walnut. Very cold unpleasant water below. Some crawl out to safety. Sadly, some drown. Best way to firm up ice is to steady and follow Tao. Tao strengthens so that we may walk confidently without fear of ice giving way below us. Tao permits us to carry weight without fear and with knowledge of how to handle weight properly. Everyone has problems. Everyone has a weakness. However, those that acknowledge their weaknesses and work to shore them up prevent dip into ice cold water.
