When we become MEN......

The Wheel of life keeps turning, old men goes and new men emerge, same as the trees blooming flowers in summer and shedding leaves in winter. This is a must for life to go on. But as human nature is, we hold on to the things that were and wonder about the things to come.

Growing to become a “man” is process rather than an incident, in my childhood “Which I am nostalgic about” I always looked at manhood as a huge statue, that only needs physical growth to attain, I thought with size comes wisdom, wealth and strength. But now I am starting to realize that grownup me is just layers of life experience over my young me and physical appearance is nothing but a ticket to the stadium of manhood, but your life experiences are what makes what you are inside that stadium, the players being watched , the crowd or the guys in the VIP room.

With manhood comes many cons as pros, the most notable thing that every child should be told is to do mistakes while you are young, when we get old, mistakes are just like ugly scar in the face.

With manhood comes responsibility, it is the time we become caregivers rather than being cared for especially our parent. It is time we think of others other than ourselves.

In conclusion, Being a child then a man then an old timer is way of life, we may try to deny or resist but that is how it was and would be. Accepting is the only answer, if you cannot accept it just keep your feelings inside and try to look like you know what you are doing.
