Everything that disgusts or horrifies or makes me afraid to me is a weakness. I then seek to understand it so I am not so afraid.
This is my latest undertaking as I have children. Once you understand, your fear subsides a little. It won't go away totally, but it helps.
Am I defending them in any way? No.
I am just questing to understand.....I like to understand what I fear
