________________
The Jains through Time
During the course of life, incidents suddenly occur that make the necessity for support imperative. True, if your legs have become weak, by all means use a crutch to support
yourself. After all, you are in need of assistance. Whilst a crutch cannot help you to walk fast, it will certainly ensure that you are at least moving forward. But always remember that a crutch remains a crutch. It is not a leg and can never become one. On a long journey
strong legs are needed. Crutches and other support structures can only help you for a
short distance and for a little while.
