I asked my wife about the hiding of personal weakness and whether someone who has wrist pain would talk about it. She said that the hiding thing is more like: ‘You ask me to help you with something. I’m busy or in pain or whatever, but I can’t reject a request, so I have to hide my issue.’ She says that at her workplace people talk openly about pain and if someone had wrist pain, they would wonder about it and ask their colleagues.
Of course, a samurai would never show personal weakness. ;-)
You’re welcome to attack my reasoning.
