,”You are strong, because you are imperfect. You are wise, because you have doubts.”
So says Churchill’s wife, at least in the clip below…
if you’ve got a couple of minutes, watch the whole thing, it is a clip from a movie which I urge everyone to watch, “Darkest Hour”.
Several points arise from this clip. First if the conversation between Churchill and the King had never occurred, we’d all be speaking German right now. On that point, I have no doubt whatsoever in my mind.
Second, I suggest that strong men invariably have flaws. In truth however, that’s where there’s strength comes from. Weak men tend to follow the status quo, and are followers, where is strong men tend toward precisely the opposite. Therefore, to expect perfection in a leader is to demand a weak leader.
Thus do we have the difference between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. And the conclusion that if you want a strong America you need a strong leader, imperfections and all. (What kind of John q milk toast do you need to be to be complaining about mean tweets?)
