Man is success and failure wrapped in one. Men aren't supposed to feel any way about the expectation put on them. Men need to take responsibility for the toxicity created by them. But once again...there too lies some truth. This is accountability being taken. "Tears in the Rain" is written in the first-person narrative to stimulate the thought process. With these writings I hope to dispel any myths about male strength and vulnerability; may these writings be an act of contrition, a show of male vulnerability society is owed, maybe give answers to some unanswered questions. May this be the starting line to ultimately show that "man" is not the enemy-evil humans are. Even fools want a better world. It doesn't make them foolish. Masculinity is no more the enemy than femininity is; both are fallible. One is nothing without the other, without one the other falls weak and dies. May these writings be the starting lines that start the discussions to begin healing and changing paradigms.
