Emotional Pack Rat

Okay, in my last blog, I called women "emotional pack rats". If women are emotional pack rats, are men the proverbial storage units of unresolved emotions? I mean let's face it, men are not the most forthcoming when it comes to expressing feelings...as society deems it a sign of weakness when a man does express his feelings of hurt and pain. Society considers it a female characteristic to express any emotion outside of anger. Hence, the balance in the male/ female relationship runs on a vertigo imbalance!!! Now, why is it that men start crying and complaining when women are placed on the slightest measure of equality in sports, politics, global affairs, business ventures, or social status? Basing their discontent on the unfairness of the protocol that dictates those possibilities!!! GENTLEMEN, PLEASE SAVE YOUR TEARS FOR REAL SORROWS; like war, famine, disease, racism, sexism, criminal and social injustice, terrorism, corporate take overs, unethical business practices...I can go on!!! Cry for disappointing your mother for not living up to your full potential as a man. Cry for not being all that you can be as a husband, father, brother and son!!! Cry for not being able to look up to the heavens without fear of judgement, pity, lowered self-value, and being lost. Cry for being full of desolation compounded by isolation. Cry for not fearing HIS name enough to do what you were put on this earth to do; improve, bring joy, laughter, unity, happiness, loyalty and LOVE. More importantly, cry for being afraid to love and be loved in return!!! Love is the most powerful emotion/feeling and those who welcome it are blessed beyond measure. Why would anyone choose not to experience the greatest high left in this world? Better yet, why would anyone deny love and then infect their body with poisonous substances just to feel a temporary high that substitutes that feeling? Love is always there and it is up to us to grab hold with all of our might and never let go?
