Not Every Man Is The Same, Some Are Extra-Ordinary Amazing.

In the theatre of life, a man plays two roles. One of the characters is of being a strong and unbreakable person who takes care of other individuals in his life while the other one is a sensitive kid who lives in their small galaxy.

According to my perspective, in today’s time, many people can’t understand or know the second role of man, even (sometimes) he doesn’t know about it, or maybe he hides this from the world and even from himself. You know, Why? Because from the very beginning, they are being told that they are strong and brave. They have never-ending responsibilities as well as expectations. This makes them hate the kid in themselves and that’s why a man ignores his feelings and pain.

Why they are being told to; “handle all of your issues, you are a man!!!”, “boys don’t cry”, “ pain doesn’t suit a man’s personality”, “make more money”, “BE A MAN!!!” and much more stuff. They are doing everything possible for us and yet they are not allowed to feel anything? Don’t you guys think it is unfair with them? it is unfair in my eyes.

we always consider them to act indestructible and strong creatures. We share our feelings with them, our problems, insecurities, and every single detail. In return, they listen to us, give us solutions and along with that, they face their problems too. The bitter truth is, we all know their efforts but still don’t respect this sacrifice. Why It’s so hard to respect the person who is willing to sacrifice everything for us?

The responsibilities to run the whole family; to fulfill the needs of everyone; being a great father, brother, husband, and friend. These things are putting so much pressure on them but still, without asking any favor in return, a man gives us everything. The bad thing about our society is, it considers this as a duty of man and expects a man to not feel pressured about his duties. If a man stands and speaks the words of his heart, as a result of this society will pass some taunts and wrong saying about him, making him uncomfortable about his feelings. That’s why they hide from everyone.

I was discussing men’s emotions with my friends, brothers, and cousins. All of them said it’s so hard to be a man. One of my friends said, ‘‘ We are so busy making our future that we have no time to think about any other stuff not even for ourselves. We have so many responsibilities to take care of ”. This is so distressing. After doing everything for us, they have no time for themselves, and they never even complain.

Don’t you think it’s time to appreciate all men in our lives and be indebted for all sacrifices they made for us without any complaint? Surely, they are humans and have the right to live a normal life. Let’s tell them it’s okay to cry, to have fear, to feel pain and it’s okay to be a normal person, you will still be our hero. They usually ignore their sensitive character just for proving to others how amazing they are. Let’s correct them that they are amazing with both characters.

Finally, I want to thank my father, my brothers, my male friends, and all men for being so amazing. Thank you! You are great with both characters, and you are our real superheroes. BE A MAN, BE YOU!
