WHO CLAIMS THAT MEN DON’T CRY? MEN HAVE EMOTIONS, FEELINGS AND SENSIBILITY. FOR TOO LONG HAS SOCIETY DICTATED THEIR FEMININ ABILITY?
WHY RESTRAIN THE HEART FELT EMOTIONS FOR BEING JUST A MALE? WHY IS TEAR SHEDDING ATTRIBUTED ONLY TO A FEMALE?
BOTH SEXES CAN DEMONSTRATE JOY AS WELL AS SADNESS, WHY DEPRIVE MEN OF CRYING AND IT’S CLEANSING PROCESS?
SO IS HOLDING BACK TEARS A SIGN OF PHYSICAL STRENGTH AND SELF MASTERY? NOT IN THE LEAST, I WOULD SAY IT IS THE OPPOSITE; A SUPPRESSED BUT ESSENTIAL ROSARY.
CENTURIES OF CONDITIONNING HAVE MISLED ALL OF US ALLOWING THIS TYPE OF BRAIN WASHING TO CREEP IN. IT IS TIME FOR A RENEWAL OF SPIRIT, RECLAIMING OUR TRUE ESSENCE TO SETTLE IN.
