Darak Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 (edited) Imagine two compatible people burned by previously failed relationship-attempts. They're lucky to have met each other, and in a quiet corner of their heart the Holy Spirit is whispering as much, such that they are hesitatingly, haltingly, circling each other. But previous experiences have heightened the self-preservation senses of both, such that both are waiting for a real-world indication from the other that the feelings are serious and sincere. If both wait for the other to do something real to prove the feelings be real, and if neither side does anything, it could end in a stalemate of nothing, when it could have been a perfectly happy match. How do we teach kids to know something like that can happen strong enough for them to get it and make the grand-kid's generation better? I got an idea for a Temple Building Training Centre for strong guys. Edited October 26, 2011 by Darak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slamjet Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 I would dare say it's not strong guys, but wimps thinking that an attempt at being invulnerable is a machismo type of strength, which is a very big lie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kich Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 I would dare say it's not strong guys, but wimps thinking that an attempt at being invulnerable is a machismo type of strength, which is a very big lie.Popular media teaches our males that violence, bravado and frequently using homophobic slurs are the mark of a true man.It's sad, really, when boys grow up thinking that they can't display any feelings. It's a perpetuating cycle that ends up hurting their kids someday.Opening up is not a sign of weakness, no matter how often you've been burned.
