To the ancients, a man who could not weep was not strong; he was considered hollow, numb, or beast-like. True masculinity required a complete range of human experience: the physical power to fight, the intellect to strategize, and the emotional capacity to feel deep grief, love, and awe.

A miserable little pile of secrets.
A man? Something thats 0/10 because it has no tail.
