It has been said that women have the gift to see the best in things, and us men are cursed to see things for what they truly are. As such we are drawn to battle, well like, moths to a flame. Be not shaken, my brother. For you were only protecting the ones you love. People may think us strange, but they are all ignorant of the truth beneath the surface.
They know not what lies beneath.
There lies the rub. As they say in England
I shake not, fear not!
