Steemians.. Heres a question of the day. What is it that actually makes a man(besides the obvious) are men not suppose to cry? Or are we? Are we suppose to always be fearless?
What is it that makes a real man
Lately it would appear that I find myself not only trying to answer this question but I've been asked this question by my kids, and after giving it some thought its not really as simple as one would think. So I now find myself sitting here pondering, Yes I dress nice and k ow what style is, I have no problem standing up for someone weaker than me, If something belongs to me I take care of it and/or make sure it never needs anything at all, when shit gets bad I never run or back down I come at it with everything, I cry when times are sad, I speak whats on my mind, and i'll admit when I'm wrong with no problem and then I'll apologize. Now with All of that said what am I missing ladies & gentlemen of Steem give me some feed back or opinions.
A man is a human being . He has feeling , he has emotions , he has a heart . If a man cries , to me , that's a true man. A man who can express himself without thinking he will be judged . A man is someone who can balance his life as well as try to his future better
I really do think you hit it on the nose witb your reply @journeyoflife i hope your doing well. Hows your son?
It's the truth , and the truth is always powerful . Baby Mustafa is doing fine , he's been sleeping all day which means he might be up at night 😫😫😫 how's the kids ??
It is a tough question....when you stop and think about it.
I would qualify the question though. " what makes a gentleman?" Or "What makes a man of Honor?" Or...?
What makes a good man?
You have listed many good qualities. What have you missed....?
Slow to anger and abounding in love!?
Patient and calm when the kids or others are panicked?
Willing to give better than he gets: at work, to loved ones, etc.
Disciplined so that he has time or can make time to do important things when they arise.
That is a list of things I thought of.
But it really is a tough question.
How have you been? I have hardly looked at my feed in a couple weeks. The few times I have I only got to 3 or 4 posts and missed any you may have made. So I was happy to see yours today and join you in pondering big questions and thoughtful reflection.
I hope you and the kids are well!!
Take care,
Peace!
@em3 amazing response, I'm doing well hows everything going for you? It has been a minute since I've seen you. Is everything going okay? Let me know.
Yeah, it has been a solid minute!
Things are good, in that, when I first started following you I was unemployed...so lots free time, but hard to live unemployed..
I did get a decent short time job that was a God-send...
But now I have so much less time to read through all the wonderful posts on my feed.
But a man's gotta eat...
And that filet minon has me mouth watering...so I need to work some extra this week!!! ;-D
Ill be keeping my eye on your post man, I really hope things keep going positive.

@carterx7, I am not sure that we can ever answer this question completely.
Personally, I believe that men should be:
And honestly the list goes on. Thanks for opening up. As men we need to ask these types of questions (and not just when we are facing difficult times).
I completely agree thanks for replying
people realize we are all simple human beings when. Death is coming. is when you know that money grinds. resentments. they are not worth
That was well said.
