Man up Men

Acting tough comes off as pointless to me.   I believe acting “tough” is just an attempt to mask over a lack of self esteem and insecurities with a tough mojo.  Understand using a vast array of obscenities does not make you more “tough” than another person.  Trying to pull others down does not pull you up.  I believe it is weak people that try to bring others down in attempt to build themselves up.  Acting tough is different than being tough.  Trying in school, or being a genuinely nice guy does not make you less ”tough”.  Real toughness is not about bigger, buffer, and meaner than another dude.  It’s not one upping another guy.  Toughness is the ability to be yourself, respect yourself, and stand up for yourself in what you believe and care for.  It is not something that warrants bragging rights.  True toughness is the ability to be more mature than those so-called “tough” people and to not snoop down to their hate.  Being tough is being calm, cool, and collected.  Fighting does not make you tough.  Real toughness is the ability to keep composure and not snap when faced with opposition, hate, or adversity.  “Man up” men.
