  wow… i have to say this is remind­ing me to slow down. makes me think of my child­hood — before the inter­net, when there was more time to just enjoy the moments of life. my par­ents were much less “busy” than i am…

  So much heart. To say it is beau­ti­ful is to state the obvi­ous. I truly admire men who can say it like they feel it. Thats so rare.

  Thank you Vineeta. I think it’s gen­er­ally harder for men to express how they feel due to upbring­ing and var­i­ous con­ven­tions. The dis­play of emo­tions is con­sid­ered a fem­i­nine trait and a sign of vul­ner­a­bil­ity, some­thing that can poten­tially be exploited. Look­ing at it this way it is actu­ally a sign of inse­cu­rity if a man has dif­fi­culty express­ing his feel­ings, out of fear of being mis­judged or mis­un­der­stood, as the fact remains that all human beings have emo­tions regard­less of gen­der. Admit­tedly men don’t feel on the same level as women as we sig­nif­i­cantly ratio­nal­ize our choices but nev­er­the­less “allow­ing” our­selves to feel a cer­tain way actu­ally con­tributes to mak­ing good deci­sions hence feel­ing more sure and con­fi­dent. At least that’s how I see it.

  Your com­ment to Vineeta really res­onated with me, I wish my hus­band could “feel” more.
  Thanks so much for shar­ing,
