NOTE

The Call for Men to Address Their Pain

Men are being encouraged to confront their own pain and past hurt in order to find purpose, meaning, and value. By acknowledging and processing their pain, men can become more constructive contributors to society, culture, and their families. It is highlighted that hating oneself due to negative stereotypes about masculinity can hinder personal growth. Men are reminded that there is nothing inherently wrong with masculinity, but it is about how it is expressed. Many men struggle with unaddressed emotional pain and are often advised to be more vulnerable, although this approach has its limitations. Overall, there is a universal call for men to confront and work through their pain as it is believed that hurt individuals are more likely to cause harm, emphasizing the importance of providing men with the necessary tools and resources to address their pain.
