A thought on 'fragility'

I've always been attracted to 'fragility'. So Seigo Matsuoka's book, "Fragile: A departure from weakness" was an eye-opener. He asks a question, "Why is weakness deeper than strength? Why are we drawn to fragile, ephemeral things?" He cuts into the world of 'fragility' from different angles  such as history, anthropology, biology, philosophy, and literature. He says, "This marginal sensation, fragility, is always radical. Weakness is not lack of strength. It holds its own characteristics called 'weakness'. It is a sensational and pianissimo phenomenon. It feels like a mere fragment torn from the whole, but its transparent intricate power sometimes resists and threatens the system. As I pursue the source of this mysterious inexplicable strange phenomenon, gradually a word filled with certain sensation emerged in my mind. It is this ambiguous concept called 'fragile' or 'fragility'." I can't wait to discover the depth of fragility that has been an enigma for me.
