An Article about MAN
This piece is for all the dedicated and hardworking men struggling with routine struggle and psychological conditioning.
The real man smiles in trouble, gathers strength from distress, and grows brave by reflection- Thomas Paine
“Heavily bearded, muscular, standing tall, and gentle at heart is a Man”- Anonymous
Masculinity is portrayed as a hazardous form of sexuality that tends to show a stereotypical layout of “How a man behaves. Masculinity stands as a prime victim of a vindictive and aggrandized depiction.
It has mostly to do with the outer appearance of a man, with a small pinch of inner traits that have been fixed for a man since the time he is born. Social norms and Hazardous character certification of a man tends to further help degrade what a man really is like.
The Society has affixed a fixed rule for anyone to be born under the Man Category that ''If you don't react or behave in a "certain way" you are cannot be classified as Man". A man has to act strong. If you tend to be soft, understanding or if you even tend to show slight feminine traits, you will be an outcast for most people if not all.
A man’s stereotypical look has an insignia, his beard, and his pride. Pride is moreover a gained attribute but for a man, it becomes a part of his physical appearance. Conditioning imbibed in him since the day he is born.
Masculinity is nothing like the way it has been spoon-fed to us since our birth. Being a man is more than being masculine, strong, resistant, durable (all these words are sorts of affiliation for being a man)
Let’s be frank we are less appreciative of what we have or who we are in our life. Something similar happens to a male. Being a man is a far greater deed, a far greater purpose and a far greater reason than just about Masculinity. A man has a soft side which he bothers him the most. A man is always in a state of confusion of indecisiveness when it comes to making decisions.
Should he follow his Masculine side or should he follow his heart which is indeed his soft side? A man is always in turmoil when faced with a decision that requires both masculine and Feminine traits of decisiveness.
You will see all sorts of men out there, the struggling type, the playboy type, the gentle type, the macho type, and also the soft type. Jumping to the last category, the soft types are the most underrated and less cared Man type. The soft ones try their best at being truthful and caring, but all they get is bashing. There are a lucky few who get what they deserve. What about the biggest lot of the soft types? No one cares.
The society has an uneven definition for being a Gentleman "can be any of the two, a successful & caring male or a kid trying to act like a man”. A man has his flaws, but a man also knows to acknowledge them and always finds a way to better space for him in this world. I can go on and on and on all day, but that will only add to the value of “Being a Man”.
A man's destiny is decided the day he is born. SO TAKE PRIDE IN BEING ONE.
