I’ve scoured various corners of the internet to find suitable literature on the intersection of the two categories. What I found was limited. The kind of depth I was looking for was largely missing within the mainstream vernacular. As humans, we’re not given a rule book to help guide us through life’s uncertain nature. From birth to adulthood, we get emotionally scared, traumatized, broken in ways that embed in our brain’s limbic system. An individual can surge through such experiences without harm in the interim period, but their effects begin to unfold in the long term. We trudge through our problems, fix our visual blinders when they’re damaged and constantly seek to resolve familial & personal issues upon their arrival. Some might say these are the biological markers of what makes a man. While there are levels of truth from a moral & ethical lens, we cannot ignore the psychological affects of these cultural norms. As a collective, we are not ready to pay for it.
