Birth of a GOD

Increasingly i see that humans are getting weaker. I do not mean that all should be thumping their chest like gorillas or measure the size of their biceps everyday. NO. Strength does not devolve from the size of muscles or stamina or how many martial arts one knows.
Strength is somewhat of mental fortitude. The heros: of both reel and real life, have something in common when faced with impossible, insurmountable odds; they never give up.
Giving up is accepting defeat. Frequently, i come to hear of such words like: 'too difficult', 'dnt have time', 'cant do it' etc.
In work place too I hear somewhat similar stuff like: "Please do this, I am relying/trust on you".
Relying/trust is the words of the weak like a cripple relying on the stick. Relying means depending on someone else who may or may not carry out the task. One simple query: you trust your girlfriend, place your inner most feelings in her hand, then she just tosses you and your emotions (which is quite valuable to you), crushes them under her high heels and rides off into the sunset leaving you to pick up the remnant shards of your emotions.
Hence, why cant we all be strong enough to tackle our own problems, battle our own demons. We rely/trust because we are inept at doing so. We always require someones help, which may or may not be beneficial for our sake in the longer run.
We are so weak that we cannot afford to make tough decisions or burn those necessary bridges. We rely on others judgment which may be flawed. This is the precise reason, our inherent weakness, that gives birth to Gods. Humans are like parasites. They need someone to guide them. All creatures want to believe in something bigger, better than themselves. To escape the pressure of that belief, those on whom faith is placed looks for someone higher than themselves. Such cycle continues till there is only one, THE ONE, on whom everybody places their trust. That's how Gods are born. The weak humans are mere parasites riding on the coat tails of the strong. They just wish to be safe and not be strong.
Looking into such situation disgusts me. A person threatened on the road will either run or look for the cops or with his volume try to garner public support. He will not take action by himself. Its Ok to lose. By falling down that we learn to stand up once again..that is if we have the mental fortitude to stand up once again.
