(no subject)
"Just being born male doesn't automatically make you a man."
I read this line over, and over, and over again. It makes so much sense yet hardly anybody realizes.
This is the same logic as having more muscles doesn't necessarily make you manlier; having a degree doesn't necessarily make you smarter; having to go through army doesn't necessarily make you more mature or manlier; donning a different uniform as your peers doesn't necessarily mean you're better than your peers and most definitely doesn't make you a leader if you're not a man first.
I think what constitutes as the "being of a man" is rather subjective, so I will leave it to you to think and argue.
The very basics of a human being, or if you will, a friend, is to tell a person who is in love with you to move on if you have no intentions of being with him/her. This is purely out of goodwill, so I can't see how this can be a bad thing at all.
It is very warped for a person to ignore a person's feelings and not tell the person it is not possible for them to be together.
If you fail as a friend
If you fail as a human being
Can you even call yourself a man?
I can't speak for all the females but being born female doesn't automatically make me a woman as well.
I have my period, but it is pointless if I don't bear kids. The existence of my ovaries would then become an accessory. Something that I use every month to know that I am a female, and that is just all.
I have a crazy amount of love to give out like all females do, but it is pointless if I can't give unconditional love to my family and husband. It is pointless to speak of love if I can't give up my life to save the lives of those I love in spite of fear.
There are many things that a woman can do that a man can't (not including anything physically like bearing kids, etc) such as dedicating an entire life to tend to the kids and husband tirelessly, loving a man wholeheartedly though he's cheating on her, staying on for the kids....... The ability to love like that and their selflessness is something I look up to, something I don't wish to experience, but something I know I would do too as do many other girls out there.
I am not in the mood to share how I have not let myself down.
I just ask you to take some time off and be alone. Think about yourself as MY friend. Think about yourself as a man.
More importantly, think about the times when I tried to be there for you, but you turned away
think about the time when you were ill, when I went all the way to get you medicine, but you turned away
think about the time when i stood up for you when you got cheated on, but you shrugged it away
think about the number of times when I told you I was proud of you when you got first on a competition/graduated with merit/represented singapore/got through the many arduous obstacles in army, but you never replied.
There's just too many times that I was there but you can't see me.
You were there for me too, but I am not even asking for that or for your feelings
I am just asking for you to see me.
And if you see me, tell me, give me a good sincere reason, why not me?
It has got to be the most puzzling question EVER for our friends, for my friends and myself... Why not me?
2010 will come to an end soon enough, and I am slowly getting one of my birthday wishes I made when I turned 21 earlier this February: to forget you if I can't have you.
It is easier than I thought, thanks to your recent desperate moves on other girls. But that is now none of my concern.
Good luck, and please, if you are born male, be a Man.
