A man robs himself of the opportunity to learn, and grow into a better being when he does not accept the pain of being broken.

To reject the pain, he must have a shield to hide behind.

Thread.
We all go through hard times in love, relationships break us all.

There is no one man who goes through life without experiencing the pain of love.

Some experience the pain of never being loved.
Some experience the pain of betrayal.

Some experience the pain of betraying.

In brotherhood and in love, all men suffer this pain.
This pain is what makes all men, for better or for worse.

It is the most acute of all, sharper than a piercing sword.

You must not reject it. You must never run from it.

Accept. Learn. Move.
Most men think resorting to extreme manipulation and 'dark' personalities because love is *shite* is the answer to the pain.

These are the men who rejected the pain.
Love will break you.

It will hurt you. It hurts all men. It breaks all men.

To reject this pain is to turn love into a completely calculative endeavor to the point where it loses its essence.

Men who do this think they can outsmart the feels.
When your interactions with another being becomes transactional.

When you can no longer trust another.

When you refuse to let yourself feel (in love) its beauty will elude you.

The fact is that love is not logical, but to enjoy it you must know what to avoid.
If it were we would never have been broken in the first place.

We do it because it's worth doing.

Let the pain flow through you.

Learn. Give yourself time to heal.
There are people who have dedicated years to learning so they can teach you how to recover from this and still be a man of character.

They do this to preserve love, not to show you that it doesn't exist.
Enlightenment brings suffering.

To know that a person will leave you, to know you may not see them the next morning (when that person means the world to you) is torture.

Yet that is the beauty of life and love.
Why do we cherish life when we could very well be dead any moment?

When the next might be our last.

Why then do we expect different from love?

Treat both the same way.

A matter of the NOW. They are both enjoyed when you live in the now.
Don't ignore the future, just don't live in it.

Don't reject the past, just don't dwell on it.

Live in the now. Let the pain seep in. Learn from it.

Grow because of it.
Pick up your broken pieces because you may be yet to experience the most beautiful moments of your life in love.

The broken ones can fix themselves.

But another may not be able to fix what someone else broke.
If you let yourself turn into a monster because "I was hurt in the past" then you lose twice,

because your pain was for nothing after all.

The ones who come out of the pain victoriously learn principles to live by.
These principles are the *truth* to all loving and prosperous relationships.

I will mention a few.

- The man is not to be considered equal to the woman (she is his)
- He shall lead her
- She will submit to his leadership
- A strong man = prosperous relationship
- A submissive woman = prosperous relationship
- A strong man + a submissive woman = eternal bliss
- Broken people can't love back
- You many not be able to fix a broken person (let them go)
- Fix yourself before you love another (else you will bleed on the one you love)
These are but a few of the governing dynamics of a successful relationship.

Rejecting these leads to pain.

Accepting them will not guaranteed you no heart break.
But if you want to give yourself a chance to love, you must abide by them.

There's no need to resort to arbitrary rules such as:

-*a man must sleep with at least 25 women a week, or else he's not a man*-
-*A man must never have one person he's dating*-

For the man who is working to build an empire, one woman is enough.

The narrative today teaches you what you want to hear, not what you need to hear.
Because men want to have freedom to do as they wish and not be held accountable for anything.

Do not be a man without character.

Let the pain change you for the better.
Let it be the reason your next relationship partner wakes up every day thanking the universe for you.

Learn. Love.

Love is universal.

Love is illogical. It's feels. But it's worth it.
Lastly,

be grateful if you find an unbroken soul,

for you may not be able to fix the one that has been broken.
