Masculinity


you asked for a man's apology here it is but apologies.

but it doesn't mean shit if you aren't willing to accept your faults.

put aside your own pettiness .

empathize with others to gain perspectives you didn't have before.

we are all going through life and everyone has value. 

if people can't respect each others and themselves they are only devaluing themselves.

to be of value yourself you must meet others with courtesy and kindness as you hold yourself to a higher standard.

if this is not reciprocated than they are depreciating the value of those around them and themselves.

And ask

What are you worth?

Who values you who do you value?

When was the last time you were honest with yourself and others?

Where is your integrity and courage to wear your heart on your sleeve?

Why do you find it so hard to feel and be honest with those closest to you?
