A Brief Manifesto On What Should Be Considered Manly Today: Self-Control And Staying Calm
Because losing your cool and getting into fights and shit isn't manly at all.
We need to stop glorifying guys who win fights on the streets, at bars or basically anywhere where violence could be avoided.
We need to stop letting guys think that it's cool to boast about it, especially since more often than not, the braggart is full of shit.
We need to cull this nonsense because videos of fights going viral shouldn't be going viral at all in the first place.
We need to stop this because people can actually die from a single punch.
We need to allow guys to know that opening up about your feelings is a perfectly alright thing to do.
We need to stop letting bullies think that they get to victimize and torment others just because they think that they can.
We need to make guys know that they should respect women because sadly, many don't.
Stop.
No more.
Stay calm.
Learn self-control.
Breathe and allow some better thoughts to come in.
Talk to others calmly.
Find cool hobbies.
All at your own pace, in your own life.
A life worth living, for certain.
Why are men more likely than women to take their own lives? - The Guardian
“We need” is a slippery slope to control my brother, though I feel you whole heartedly.
Perhaps there is another play happening within, where there is a calm and universal space some may call knowing and in my humble opinion, this is where the idea “we need” can be rested.
Wholeness shows me how vital it is for male and female to walk their path and take those lessons, sometimes squarely on the chin. There is value in it all is there not? For without it none would desire to learn how to defend oneself.
This is merely another perspective, sent with love and respect. 🙏💯
True true. It's a strong word indeed.
I wrote this on a whim after waking up.
I guess... I am writing it under the "better safe than sorry" umbrella.
