Some days ago when I threw this topic for discussion in neoxian city, I realized that truly Big boys don't cry because in as much as they all agreed that they are humans with emotions and are entitled to feel tired of how life treats them and of how they keep trying but with no positive result yet, they ended up still maintaining their grounds that they won't and will never dare show their weaknesses as been tired of whatever life throws at them because THEY ARE MEN. Oops! That's touching
I don't know how best to explain or talk about these things anymore since this gender has already taken strong hold of this stigma as a decision but just like I would always say, stigma can always be erased only when you are ready to clean it off.
The main issue disturbing humanity is the fact that we based our lives on what the society would say or what the society has painted us to be. What about that natural feelings that we are meant to feel when we are not robots?
Men are humans too, even though the society feels they are man and strong enough to withstand every test of time without expressing it but who are those referred as the society? Is it still not YOU and I? These are facts or rules we established and layout by ourselves just to prove some points that men supercedes women and they are not meant to break down or feel emotional.
Every independent or once independent lady or woman would actually accolade a male gender's effort because it is not an easy one to deal with so many responsibilities when there even no one to care about your own responsibility except for you. The world expects so much from the male gender but still doesn't expect them to express it when being tired or weak? That's cruelty, seeing it from my end.
At the same time, just like I said initially, everyone's life lies in their hands, as to what and what to adopt from what the society says or do. It's not a request of you as a male gender to show that you're tired or your weak moments in the streets or public, NO.
It is about talking to somebody close, be it partner, friend or close siblings you trust enough to talk to instead of carrying those continuous added weight of life issues on your chest till you can take it no more all because you're tagged as a MAN.
If today, I get to see a guy or man discussing with me and crying due to what he's being passing through, it doesn't make me see him as a weakling but as someone who needs my moral support at the moment cos for him breaking down means he has had it up to the peak. I'm speaking for myself as a person and not on behalf of my gender cos I know some of us can actually be saucy that our partners can't see us as support when they need us the most. They would rather confide in outsiders.
Above all, if you're reading this article as a male gender, do not generalize based on experiences with my gender from the past or by others but rather ensure to know whom you're signing your life contract with in marriage, screen those you claim to have in your circle as friends and family so that you can have the right person to share your thoughts and burdens with.
EVEN INSIDE BENZ OR LAMBORGHINI, BIG BOYS CRY SO FEEL FREE TO CRY AS A STRUGGLING MAN TOO.
