Contrary to our “tough guy” culture, it is not only acceptable but necessary to share our emotional selves. Vulnerability, particularly in men, is not a sign of weakness. It is what makes us human. And real.
Feel free to shed tears of strength and share hugs of warmth. The notion that “real men don’t cry”, has created a warped sense of “machismo” that is not founded in reality. Touch a life with your emotional being. It is a gift that keeps on giving.
