“Stubbornness is a weapon.
People tend to draw it out when a sensitive part of their identity is threatened鈥攂e it dignity, honor, pride, desires, etc. If loaded with righteous resolve, stubbornness can assist in overcoming obstacles and achieving great feats; however, more often than not it is loaded with anger, used as a means of destruction for both the possessor and those whom he turns his weapon upon.
