Men Aint Shit

One thing i cannot understand is the saying "Men ain't shit". I find it hard to believe there are sisters out there that is willing to judge the whole male species because of their misfortunes with the men they've dealt with. I expect to hear "Men ain't shit" from the younger sisters basically because they do not yet understand what is need for a relationship to survive. But when i hear my older sisters proclaim "Men ain't shit", i often laugh and start to wonder. If you are 22 and older, you should not be saying "Men ain't shit". If you find yourself saying this, then you should really sit down and analyze the type of men you are dealing with.

Relationships are like houses. If the foundation is weak, the structure will not stand very long, it will eventually crumble from the wear and tear of outside forces. Many relationship, IMO, fail because they are lacking a solid foundation. A solid foundation is good communication. If there is good communication and an understand between two attracting parties, the chances of success is greatly improved. Good communication is why couples stay together for 30 and 40 years. Good communication and an understanding amongst two parties are the basic building blocks of a solid relationship. How many of you are lacking the basic building blocks in your relationships now??

Lets dig deeper into wisdom

We can be knowledgeable with other man's knowledge, but we cannot be wise with other man's wisdom. So what exactly is wisdom exactly. People think being wise is the most important thing but wisdom is simply knowing what to do next; virtue is doing it. Which raises the question of which is more important wisdom or virtue. Any of us can achieve virtue, if by virtue we merely mean the avoidance of the vices that do not attract us. I guess your wondering how can someone my age be so logical...wisdom doesn't necessarily come with age. Sometimes age just shows up all by itself. Maybe I'm just crazy and not wise, or maybe I'm just became a crazed person in search of wisdom...or maybe this is virtue's revenge for being wide and wise. but then again i always believed in Harburn's theory of virtue is its own revenge. I can go in circles and never find the answer I'm looking for.......so lets dig deeper into wisdom, shall we.......

Real Men Uplifting

A real man should never falter when the times get rough

He keeps control of his emotions though he's had enough

Sometimes the stress can chew away at the soul like acid

And cause false reactions, like the measures are drastic

False images can cause false assumptions

Tryna piece it all together, just to figure out nothing

The shadow of mystery covering the situation

The closest people to you --- hide the most information

They tell you move on, outside looking in

Though your sure you know the truth, they cause you to question

Is the motive ulterior? Is there sabotage involved?

Did someone who saw us happy, plan to make our bond dissolve

The mirror so convicting, I knew what I was getting in

I overlooked the truth, I choose to disregard the sin

I thought that i regretted, an error in my judgment

But I don't regret a thing, or even whom I'm in love with

Negative energy filled my mouth with harsh words

Showing a side contrary to the one that most observe

I'm the one that needs to love myself, the one that needs to focus

Cause the man I am today is not the one that you will notice

When I as wine finally matures, and is ready to be served

If you have your glass prepared, you will get what you deserve

God's words humbled me, with a message of reason

Spoken from a muse from cultural region

And in that conversation, God granted me wisdom

And revealed my worth, like a prince to a kingdom

And even at my lowest point, i find the strength to look up

To let the one that watch me closely, know I'm more than a bluff

A real man should never falter when the time gets rough

He keeps control of emotions though he's had enough.

Though life is a marathon, i am taking it in stride.

If i want my thirst quenched, first I must swallow my pride.
