A little about why I am writing to you…
When I look around, I see alot of damage in people. I am certain we all do. There is alot of hate. There is alot of selfishness. There is alot of loneliness, depression, despair… There is alot of hurt, which is where I believe all of these problems come from. We all respond differently. A few short years ago I would have felt there was nothing that could be done about it. I see it differently now. If I can reach 5 people. Those 5 people affect those around them. Maybe each of those 5 can reach 5 and so on. Maybe they can take on the battles they face in their own lives and stop generational cycles of hurt. Maybe only 2 of them can. No matter how many or how few I can reach, it is better than reaching 0.
I want to encourage you as well. Just reach someone. If you are struggling with hurts from your life, let it stop with you. Do not pass it down to your kids. (If you already did, it is ok. Just apologize, ask your child, based on age, how you can help them get over it, and do better.) I believe that the system we live in was by design. I believe we were intentionally beat down by a group of world “leaders”, AKA narcissists, who wish to keep the general public like slaves while they enjoy the luxuries we provide them.
It is not a hopeless situation for us. There can be an end in sight. We can find happiness together. No matter how bleak it looks to you, know that it can get better. I see it as though we are in a war together. This is a war that is not talked about. This is a war many don’t see, yet we are all unwittingly or unwillingly in this war together.
Side note: Imagine, if you will, that these narcissists have a long game in mind. In order to enslave billions of people, who do they need to attack first? Men. Why? The mere endurance of a man is incredible, whether he is a bit of a fighter, protector, builder, or nurturer. Men in general are able to withstand alot before they break. How do they do it? Generation after generation of breaking, isolating, and humiliating men. They start when a man is young. Boys are told not to cry. Men providing for a family are put under almost impossible pressure and brought to a breaking point, then expected to be patient fathers. Young men are then yelled at by fathers and coaches. Then some young men lose desire to care for a family. Some are told life is hard and head into it already giving up. Then, at the same time, women are being told they don’t need men. Now these young men are trying to get their foothold in the world around them and they are facing women who are laughing at them and telling them that they are not needed. Well, those women are wrong. (I was once wrong, too.) We need you so much.
We can only win this together, and I believe we can and will.
