Whats wrong with men?

Question

Whats wrong with men?
Seriously. Why are so many of them so insensitive? Is it the testosterone? Is it that they just dont have the same emotional capacity as women or is it because theyre socialized to stifle or deny their feelings?

Answer

The thing that you are missing is that men are afraid. It is scary to see your self as having to live up to the western male ideal.brbrOur society has set up illogical levels of perfection for both men and women that are unrealistic and dysfunctional.brbrYou know how the magazine covers or the adds on tv set up an impossible air brushed ideal for women that cause young girls who are already perfect in their own way to starve themselves to death, or seek expensive and painful surgery to correct their socalled quotflawsquot.brbrMen too have to deal with these types of nonsensical expectations. They are different from the ones women are faced with but they are no less scary and cause men to avoid the feminine or emotional aspect of their nature.brbrIt is interesting to me that this term feminine aspect is even used. It is as though no real man would even have such a thing as an emotional side. Men struggle with these things just like women do but in different ways that are not always aparent to someone of another gender.brbrJust try to love them, even if you dont want to get that close to some of them. We are all here learning and trying to do our best. Guys are admitidly a lot slower at emotional maturation than women are. Just try to think of them as works in progress. brbrI might suggest that you look for an older guy who might be a lot closer to your level of emotional maturity. There are some really great ones out there.brbrCheer up Amp, tomorrow is a new day.brbrLove and blessings Don

Can we prevent death, disease, and old age?

Question

Can we prevent death, disease, and old age?
WE the human beings have progressed a lot,we have come a long way from the stone age to the present.And still we are to go a long way. I donot think that we had any chance of conquering the above three that is death, disease and old age.

Answer

Hey! I read all answers and see that all are staying at the most primitive and dense level and that is the materialistic field. Personality for me belongs also to this. As this is posted in philosophy, there should be something more than just this.brWhere are all those spiritual and religious people? As far as I remember from school in classes about religion, there was a man Jesus who told people that there is not such a thing like death and he also demonstrated this by showing up alive after he was killed. Well this might be just a nice story to satisfy his followers, as it also belongs to the primitive aspects. But what about the philosophical part of eternal life? In this of course the body is seen only as a changeable form that will be renewed, not really important, because there is a permanent entity and for this there is no death. Sounds good, maybe too good? Or why it is not mentioned when something about it is ask? brWell, this just shows that we live in the first place with a materialistic worldview and philosophy serves to confirm our position. Right? Religion is just the way to manipulate people and to keep them calm. Wasnt it Marx who mentioned this? brAnyway, I was just surprised and was wondering where are all those religious people who usually show up in all occasions.brInkyPinkie
