The Tough-Guy Defense.

In the company of men many will adopt what I call the tough-guy defense.

He is so afraid of being hurt that he erects a strong facade of toughness.

He is so afraid of humiliation that he will not admit any weaknesses.

He is so afraid of homosexuality that he will not show any affection.

But in doing so he imprisons his soul within an impregnable fortress.

And he identifies with his creation.

His personal ego rules his personality.

And he is unhappy.

This is what the world has taught him.

But we must unlearn this behavior if we are to find ourselves and find true happiness.

Because happiness comes from opening our hearts, from expressing our love to others.

Many men think that sex is the purpose of life and that happiness comes from successful sexual activities. 

But this is not as satisfying as it promised to be.

It can make you feel empty and miserable.

True happiness comes from loving others.

Love is at the center of our being.

And Love is at the center of the universe.

The inmost nature of God is Love.

And Love is our final home.
