> If you were always moving out of the way when you were smaller, because you had to, is it so noble? If it isn’t truly a choice to?

I get what you're saying, but the subtext is the weak are less noble because they can be pushed around. Feels like punching down.

> Becoming attractive unlocks doors in the world that were previously locked.

Much better framing.

And I get that what I said can be interpreted that way but it’s far from the truth. If anything it’s easier for the weak to be noble because there are fewer decisions they are given to make.

At the other end of the spectrum it’s nearly impossible to be consistently noble if you are say, the leader of the free world, with great power comes great responsibility etc.

But in the Catholic Church for example there are just as many saints who had small influence, often not even extending beyond themselves to another person, as there are saints with massive, global influence
