Just like our muscles, to train our spirits to be more resilient, we must confront emotional conflict, to stretch and push our limits and heal spiritually stronger.

Just had to put my dog of 14yr down yesterday. It’s ok to grieve, and show vulnerability.

Real men cry.

Agreed. I like to get moved to tears at least twice a month, from it always comes growth.

on the other hand, don't take-the-bait from someone wanting to start an 'argument'... nod your head, agree with the person, don't be an outlet for their anger, and send them off to have their head 'explode' somewhere else..

You can never truly love if you are not prepared to expose yourself to vulnerability.

As said, the Phoenix is an old tale.

I'm hurt and feel vulnerable

Thanks, man. Good word.

they spend inordinate amounts of time, money and energy AVOIDING hurt - they have been coddled all their lives, insulated from any opportunity to feel pain and therefore the chance to grow. We have a whole industry in medicating them out of painful feelings
