We often think that vulnerability is a kind of weakness, but there’s a kind of vulnerability that is actually strength and presence.

Being vulnerable is an asset and one of our most important senses. It keep us safe and aware of others and their behaviour. We are all vulnerable, if something drops on us it hurts and although we can avoid something dropping. Just as now we did not cause the problem neither can be do a great deal about the problem other than following the rules that may or may not be of use later as we don't know. If you mean that vulnerable means we can be hurt by others, that being isolated is painful. We are but it is difficult for humans to isolate as we learned in very early days to work in packs for our best survival. But we have developed into an item that relies on communication. Words like vulnerable or weak or strong or any word is usually a description but only that. No matter how big we are or how many are together a huge group is just as vulnerable as a tornado is not interested in how many nor is tsunami. To feel vulnerable is something else and if you can reach out if that makes us feel we need to then that is what we must do.
