But it is one things to walk naked before the Lord; another to strip oneself in the sight of men... Almost all men would rather confess to wrongdoing than to weakness, and in this respect at least. I am no different from the common run. There may be a grandeur in wrong doing; it is at least an act, an expression of the will, and often, the will to power, that food which restores vitality and quickens the appetite it feeds on. But weakness is an abnegation of the will; weakness is always to be despised. And that is what I must confess to. - Allan Massie, King David
