MAN!

 

So who is Man?

How do you paint a man?

A man, how do you define a man? Google is also confused as to who a man is; an adult male, I do know adult males who are still boys but okay. It also says; that man is a person of either sex, a person… But is every person a man? I don’t think I am currently capable of answering such a question. I will talk about the man though, well, man as I have seen through the ages I have been here.

Man is strong; society and evolution have made us know this as a fact. Man can only ever be strong. And yes, most of us, go through life, being these characters that follow the unwritten constitution of who a man is supposed to be. If a random stranger asked you who a man is; you would have a couple of things to say and they may or may not be true. But they are there.

Men in my opinion are the weakest creatures. Yes we are strong there’s no doubt about that but it is very easy for us to break. Well, we only need to find that which breaks us and at this point, it is very easy to find it; A woman, A child… These two beings are far more superior than I can quantify. I cannot gauge the amount of power they have but the truth of the matter is; that they do and they can you break us or make us.

Men, we all know what we want; that life, that car, that business, that car again and another, a life without worry, and a few more assets. By default, most of us know we are providers and it is very easy for us to do this. Being the man will have you protecting and providing for the rest. We are providers, heroes with no capes, the unspoken supermen, and sadly most of us will never be acknowledged for it. But all this is capricious in the presence of love.

So, this begs the question; is love a sin for man. Is it something we should live without? Is it something we should abstain from? Maybe get an island full of men and live there, once we have accomplished everything then we can come back to this land full of women and maybe interact or maybe live there forever. I am not against marriage or love; it's just that this has been a knife that has stabbed countless soldiers and some are never healing from the damage caused.

Love is the death of duty;

Master Aemon: If your Father was forced to choose between honor and those who he loves, What would he do?

Snow: He would do whatever is right, no matter what!

(So what is right, what is wrong. Is anything right or wrong? This is a subjective question. I suppose everything in this world is subjective.)

Master Aemon: Then Lord Stark is one man in ten thousand, most of us are not that strong…

Master Aemon: What is honor compared to a woman’s love? What is duty against the feeling of a newborn son in your arms…

Master Aemon: We are all human, we all do our duty when there is no cost to it. Honor comes easy then, yet, sooner or later in every man’s life there comes a day when it is not easy; a day when he must choose.

I think at this point we all know what most of us will choose; love or duty, love or honor, love or peace. Some of us are lucky and get to experience all of them; love, duty, honor, and peace but I write to those of us who are riddled with this error. If God was to choose between us and His son; whom do you think He would have chosen. I am not trying to logicize God, but do you think He would have chosen us over His son? Aaah man we would be dead walai… It's funny to me since I know this as a fact, Yule God wa Old Testament would have stricken most of us …

But Christ chose between love and peace and still chose love. If I was Christ ningechoose soft life in Heaven and see all of you burn and not feel a thing, and maybe that’s why I am not Christ. But Christ was a man, and in my opinion the best of us I presume. He actually left his seat in Heaven; got born, went through pain all for what, us, sisi ungrateful people but He did and we are testament to this fact. So is Love the death of duty; I mean he did do his duty and found honor in it so why can’t we; We may not be able to gain both of them but surely we will have one.

I pray that most of us, when faced with this choice, will have people who love us back, regardless of what choice we make. I know it's hard to believe this so maybe pray towards it; manifest it. I’d love it that when I finally break as a man, and I try to hide it, She will know and try to protect me in that space; I will also need her to be a man in my life, a provider, a protector… Man, I think my understanding of who a man is has changed from the first line I wrote, and may google is not confused… Man is a person of either sex!

I hope all of us find “men” in their lives… Then on those tough days, we will still know that we have someone to rely on. Happy Sunday Folks… and maybe don’t be late like yours truly.
