Being strong has little to do with the attempt to hide weakness. One is as one is. If one hides one's weakness instead of facing it, one buries that unresolved weakness deep within one's core. The rot at the core spreads outwards.
It is dangerous to hide a flaw once one learns of it. Much energy may be wasted trying to conceal the flaw, whether from others or from oneself. What good is a fortress that harbours weak foundations?
Strength stems from acknowledging the inherent imperfections in oneself rather than hiding them for the sake of pride. After all, is it not weakness to hide when one can take that imperfection into the light and face it once and for all?
