No matter how tough you think you are, something can whip you.

    No matter how tough you think you are, something can whip you.

    Most men, myself included, go through life trying to keep a stiff upper lip. If you were raised in the 40-50s, you were taught to keep your emotions in check. As young boys, losing your temper was a natural reaction to not getting your way. The fallacy of that approach was usually learned from that a classmate who had had about enough of your crap. Not crying was another of those lessons that young boys learned at an early age. It may have been bad advice indeed but that was the way it was.

    Most boys as they grow up forget the fighting and learn to control their temper. Most also find a way to conceal their emotions, lest someone accuse them of being a "sissy".

    But the one thing that can break through all the bravado and cut to the quick is A thing Called Love
