gentlemen whats going on....man what is man
we look in the mirror and we automatically paint the picture of what
were supposed to measure up to....how were supposed to look, how were supposed to act
what were supposed to be....how many of us have been there....we find ourselves locked into
the eyes of some never ending abyss...
as if im going to find my self in that shallow pit of hell the world wallows in...
and you know of the bullshit veneer that im talking about...
how many matches on tinder did i get.....how much money am i making compared to that guy
my house is too fucking small compared to the neighbors.....shit i need bigger biceps
so forth and so forth....
and we lose ourselves in the maze of life by demanding and directing ourselves into its lunacy
how fuckign stressful and vicious is that circle of comparison....
the constant warfare ....up here....of measuring up to a standard i subjectively care two shits for...
on a individual level we know the system is fucked....the narrative sold to men is
warped and malignant....
a very terminal cancer of slavery...AT BEST.....
we we forego the subjective power of sovereignty for the collective pressure of fitting in
seriously...thats many a mans hope.... his prayer tossed in the tumultuous wind....
fitting in with the fuckign crowd....
but last i checked the recent steps of the crowd are dangerously misleading
and sure as hell not congruent and in line with masculinity. or sustainability
and thats the headspace i am in right now....
what does being a man mean in its most stripped down and authentic core..
and i absolutely believe its 100% about strength.....both physically and emotionally
on the physical side the average man is unequivically stronger than the opposite sex.
and this biological and intrinsic nature cant be refuted....men are physically stronger
and for a man to neglect this is to refuse a part of what makes him man...
i should be pushing myself in the physical realm...i should be shaping my body THUS MY LIFE
into something im proud of...
not being able to see my dick when pissing is nothing to be proud of and damn sure extinguishes
any pride in self.
our body truly is a reflection of our will to power over troubling times...
if a man cant will himself to get off the couch or put down the pizza....how much power can
he truly have over self....
physical strength and power of the body is to man as oxygen is to breathing...
and at the core of what makes man and separates him from other animals is his ability and potential
to gather strength
and more of it as life requires....
and we all know life demands we be emotionally strong or the train of life's harshness will
continually cut us down as it tracks across our path
its the straightforward logic and rationale of man that keeps him composed....
calm and steadied when the bullets of the enemy are shrapnel across his intentions....
so that when the curve balls of life are thrown, we dont shrink away but stand tall and hit for the fence
and for me its the present day comparative narrative that induces a weakening of what should be mans
resilient logic.......a reasoning that SHOULD be unbending...
but if im continually running circles in my head in some form of emotional dance of anxiety
how fuckign strong of a mental state can i be in...
the term LESS IS MORE is paramount in the space of emotional strength..
less comparison....less thinking....even less doing
and by doing i dont men resign yourself from action....but cancel the shit
that is a waste of time
