  We made a cruel world. My generation. My parent’s generation. There is too little kindness, too little caring, too much hate, anger, and hurt. We talk a good game about protecting our loved ones, but we leave too much on the table that might surely save their lives. Instead of trying to stop the crimes against them, why don’t we teach them how to protect themselves? How then do we amend it? Please leave a comment. Come on this mystery with me.

We have said too many goodbyes and grieved too long. The world has endured enough traumas and tragedy. At a loss of humans through Gender Based Violence (GBV) everyday is more than we should be asked to bear, but we are not alone.  Too little of our men are raised unignored and given attention like the girl child. So little lessons and supervision are given to the boy child. Too little of our men experience love and care like the girl child. Too many of our men undergo depression and commit suicide. Too many of our men are afraid to show emotions and speak up because they are men. ALL of our men are expected to be strong even at their weakest points and we are doing too little to make a change.  We must ask ourselves not only how we can make change, but what we have done to shape the world this way. How are we responsible? What burden are we placing on our men? What tools are we keeping from them?  How did we get here?
