The problem with me
is that I hate being respectable
and there are many prerequisites
to a woman’s love.
Respectability
is at the top of her list
followed by: ambition
social grace
and leadership.
I have all of these qualities
in my own way
but they exist,
outside of society,
which doesn’t really count
for the woman,
who doesn’t understand
the mathematics of the man.
I believe
I am moving
to a place
of stronger spiritual strength
and this can only be measured in terms of power verses force
My power
is in my thoughts
and mental attitudes
and my spirit steadily increases
as I avoid poisons
that pollute my soul
as I avoid people
who whisper lies in my ear
as I avoid every form of decadence
Not because I am so Godly
but because, I know it is designed to crush me.
Don’t give your strength to women
protect your eyes
to become a stronger man
A man is not controlled by anything, except his own mind
He needs nothing
He wants for nothing
He is perfect in his own imperfection
He has been told there is only one way to live, and that is within a cage of slavery
He, can step out, if he chooses to
and he gains freedom from his anxiety, when his spirit is strong.
The man is under attack, because he is most like God
I wish I could help him
but he must help himself.
The man must recognize that his power does not come from the force of his position
but from the spirit
within him.
Finding that strength, within us, is, the first thing, in how to love ourselves, unconditionally, and, after we are, able to, achieve that, then, there will be those around us, who feel, attracted to, us, then, we won’t be afraid anymore, of not finding the, right relationship for our own, selves.
