| The most important aspect of any normal, healthy, functioning, heterosexual relationship is that of respect. Not love. Love is an emotion, whereas respect, respect is an appreciation. Respect is an art form molded into perfection that questions the audacity and the tenacity of any illogical reasoning. Think about it. Ponder the situation of how you treat those individuals you love? Now ponder this same scenario on how you treat individuals you respect? Individuals you appreciate. Individuals you would be cautious around to display weak characteristics. The saddest pure and the saddest truth out there is that if someone shows you who they are, believe them.
People in essence never change but evolve into better, and better off fucked up creatures of themselves. We do not get better, we become older and tense, waywardly, less likely and more likely to break social norms of a functioning society. When young, we are constant thinking beings who let our emotions make unbearable decisions that should really be thought out and well devised. Everyday we hurt individuals we love. We lie,we cheat, we rebel, we question, and we forget loved ones all the time. This is not a juxtaposition on how asinine we are capable of being or becoming, quite the contrary. This actually reinforces the definition of love, for is not love the poem of illogicality?
Respect. We wake up earlier in the day for respect. We show up fifteen minutes earlier prior to an engagement for a boss we hate, for respect. We climb mountains. Cross the seven seas. Endure hardships and lower our heads in concession for respect. Do not confuse fear with love. Nations follow God not because they love, they do, but more importantly they fear Him. Man fears God. Do not confuse fear with respect. Fear relies on a tamer heart, understand for even a frightened fool will throw stones at a glass house if given the opportunity. Fear propels a constant notion of the ever so mentionable game of cat verses mouse. Does the mouse not plot revenge on the sleeping cat? Does the mouse not wait for the cat to have a Freudian slip and be waiting around the corner with an injured paw? Yes.
Though fear is a great installer to perpetuate power, fear alone, is not sure of itself. Fear actually fears itself. Fear survives off of a false evidence appearing real and keeps a reluctance barrier away from wealth. Only rely on fear when you have the latter amongst the two. For with fear and respect establishes Honor. We as Men, go all our lives trying not to make outside entities feel uncomfortable around us. We mind our p’s and q’s hoping not to aggravate or step on the toes of others. All this accomplishes is making oneself feel uncomfortable.
Making oneself feel out of touch and aggravated. We are not helping the problem, we are catering it. We are the problem. We love and pass judgment on what our conscious and gut tells us. We make excuses for individuals when they do not stand for a certain cause or ever live up to expectations. We hope, we wish, we grieve for change or a chance to make something, if anything, different. We let the lack lustrous of concepts seep and diminish our souls. We never fall for logic, only love. Those who always do what they’ve always done will always get what they’ve always got. Respect makes the good ones great. The unsure admirable, the easily attained non-susceptible. A god amongst men. Love, well love… only makes them martyrs. For even respect demands to be respected.
Sincerely Yours,
Broken Arms
