1st Corinthians chapter 13 verse 11States:When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child,I reasoned like a child.When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me.Truth is when I became a man at eighteen I didn't know what to do. Ya see allmy life I was raised to believe that to be a man you have to be brave, strong, aprotector, a provider, and never show weakness or emotion but most of allnever cry.As I think about that today, I remember the words of Malcolm X"You've been had""You've been took!""You've been hoodwinked""Bamboozled! Led astray! Run amuck!""We didn't land on Plymouth Rock,Plymouth Rock landed on us."Everything I learned about being a man was a lie.So where do I go from here?
