^ True Strength is No Picnic
Once again, “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”knocks me out of my shoes with an astute and profound observation. Buffy is alonely character, shackled to a fate where she is the only one of her kind. Sheis also gifted with extreme physical strength and resilience, given the natureof her task (to slay vampires). Given her singularity, she frequently fightsalone. Her friends recognize the isolation her role brings, and one commentsabout “the loneliness that real strength brings.”
This comment rang true for me and consoledme. I often feel isolated in my perspective on the world, in the burdens I feelI carry alone. If that is a price tied to having real strength, then knowingthis is consolation.
