Believe it or not, people who appear hawkish are weak rather than we think they are strong or even powerful. Will ‘Empty vessels make the most noise’ this axiom render you convinced of what I have stated?

Conceivably, we used to show our hawkish side to others to avoid exposing our weaknesses that we think will risk triggering others’ bullies. Hence, we have reasons to believe that every one of us is not that hawkish only we have to make ourselves to be so when we think everyone is so.

It is a misconception to think our hawkish sides are our strength, seeing acting so will make others fear us or even admire us not dare to bully us. A real strong person will not appear hawkish; instead, they will appear mild, polite, humble, and compromising. It is because they know their real strength is their kindness and goodness, and most importantly, they don’t favor exerting hawkishness to control people, seeing it as barbaric and evil. In this case, we will only admire this kind of people but not the kind of hawkish ones.

Being good and kind doesn’t necessarily mean we will get bullied or cheated by others as we have mistakenly thought. By being good and kind instead of appearing hawkish, we still can employ our ability to judge right and wrong and act accordingly with our opinions. The misconception that we will get bullied if we appear mild is negative. When we know how to express ourselves correctly and properly, we don’t have to show hawkishness or even hostility to boast our strength, for it will only do the entire human universe a disservice.

Remember that our real strength comes from our ability, kindness, honesty, generosity, humility, unique thinking, and knowledge. When you own those mentioned above, you will know what strength exactly is and you will not exercise hawkishness.

Again, believe it or not, we are too silly to come to realize that our mild or even weak sides sometimes can be our strength because they won’t trigger people’s defense or jealousy in the least, and render us safe. However, we must have to own the abovementioned in substance as a criterion to appear weak in form to avoid bad people from bullying or cheating us.
