Can't weak people live?

I think I'm a weak person.
You can't compete with scary people, etc., and there are so many cases where you lose money by using too much care. They try to avoid conflict no matter what. It makes me wonder if that's OK, but I'm worried about whether this kind of person will survive.
What does the monk think? I'd like to hear your opinions.

The yardstick is not a feeling

To determine things, don't use your own thoughts as a yardstick. There is a saying, self-identification, and we learn facts from our five senses, eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and body. Eyes don't say likes and dislikes, profit or loss. It doesn't put right or wrong on things. My ears accept any words and don't say anything.
I'm not saying the taste is delicious or bad. Fish tastes like fish.
Human hesitation begins with grasping thoughts after being exposed to facts. Thoughts aren't true. That is where the misunderstanding begins. Being aware of that is the first step.

I can live

I read it.
You know that you are very weak. It means they are aware of themselves. That's very important. It's very important for living.
That's why I can seriously think about how I should live and how I can live, go through various trial and error, and consider various things, and I can study and learn while experiencing them little by little while watching and carefully observing various things.
And you can grow little by little every day.
And you can absorb a lot of things and carve out your future using all kinds of help, support, and connections.
And before you know it, you'll probably be able to gain a stronger self, because even when you don't notice it yourself, you continue to grow and change little by little.
It's fine, so please don't worry.
I sincerely pray that you will be blessed with wonderful relationships in the future, gain a lot of strength, and grow healthily while being supported and helped by many people.

That's why people are choosing a more comfortable and “comfortable” lifestyle

No one likes uncomfortable things.
So are you. Everyone is like that. Me too.
Cats also like sunny and warm places. 😼
The keyword is appropriate “suitable.” It is important to pursue appropriateness that is not appropriate but only suitable for you, but only for you.
As for fish, there are fish that live in cold water, and there are also tropical fish.
There are plants that grow in cold regions, and there are also fruits that grow under the scorching sun. 🐟
Humans also change their clothes according to the climate.
So is each one absolutely strong? That shouldn't be the case.
If you go to another environment, field, or job type, you're not suited.
Don't select yourself in advance based on “weak or strong.”
I don't sort myself by a secular taxonomy that cannot accurately evaluate the individuality or merits of each human being. Don't do anything that humiliates you. That kind of negative thinking is what is called worry. This is because it is the biggest toxin that has frozen and weakened itself. Exactly bonnou soup. mental toxins.
It's not about whether people are strong or weak.
Even Buddha is NEET until the age of 29, right?
I seriously asked for it from there.
There is a Zhaozhou Zen master who became a monk at age 60 and lived until 120, and there is also a Dogen Zen master who passed away in his 50s and taught wisdom that transcends history and leads the world to salvation. Even Jimihen, the god of 🎸, has been active for only a few years. Even if 99 out of 100 is lackluster, if you search for the real thing even once and create the real thing and become real, all you have to do is become someone's real with just one authentic purification. Comfortable
The guitarist “Uli John Ross,” whom I admire, is bad at singing and I wasn't really able to listen to it. However, the expressive power that artists use to lead people is not a technique or skill. Art itself is the soul it wants to express. Even in manga with poor drawing skills, you should be able to feel the energy there. You are also “transformed” by encounters with art and people that ignite your strength. Excellent people and artists have such wonderful power to purify sick souls. That was also because of his own setbacks. Everyone is hurt. Me too. That's why the heart that doesn't give in to it is the Bodhi Heart of Buddhism. If there is a feeling that aims for light without being stained with darkness or negativity, the soul is engulfed.

You should live as if you were taking a walk until you die

I think it's true, to put it super roughly, that if you're weak, you won't survive.
To put it another way, you die when your life is over.
So what is longevity?
For example, I think my lifespan is a general term for relationships (conditions) that keep me alive in this world.
If I need an infusion due to illness, that infusion is also part of my relationship and longevity.
Nurses who administer infusions and family members who perform hospitalization procedures are also part of the lifespan.
For example, if you can wear clothes even in winter and not freeze to death, then clothes are part of your life span.
The conditions and longevity that keep you alive are your “strength” for living, and you only need to live until your life is over.
If you replace it with work or study, you should work until you get fired.
You should study until you drop out of school.
You have the right to work until you get fired.
You have the right to go to school until you are expelled.
If so, even the right to life exists until the end of one's life span (until the various conditions for life support weaken).
So there's no need to fire yourself; even if you think “I'm weak,” in reality, you just need to live until you die.
You don't have to force yourself to work hard for the goal.
They are coming closer to the goal, so feel like taking a leisurely walk.
