The paradox of vulnerability is that you are dying to your neighbor, for the more transparent you are, the less certain you can be of your neighbor’s response, one of which could be to cause you pain - the word “vulnerable” come from the Latin word vulna: a wound.
But to die to your neighbor means you can actually possess compassion for him, for you no longer care what he can do to you or do for you. Your neighbor’s position, power, appeal, or resources no longer hold you captive. You are neither intimidated nor infatuated. This dynamic applies even to our view of godly, gifted people.
