Emotions Vs Logic

I'm going to be very honest and authentic with you guys about my own journey to reclaiming my masculinity. My biggest battle has been balancing feeling my emotions, and still having to make the most sound, rational, and pragmatic logical decision about what to do moving forward.

This has been an ongoing battle, but I know I am not alone in this, a lot of guys are caught in this trap of having to choose one over the other or guilt-tripping yourself for having chosen one over the other when you really wanted one over the other.

I will try to make this short, as a man your energy is dominantly masculine, therefore you tend to be more logical, rational, practical, and all about what to do, not necessarily how you feel. This internal conflict is a typical experience for every guy including myself.

My perspective is, you should honor your masculine essence and prioritize your logic over emotions, feel the emotions but stick to what you know to be the right thing in your heart based on your values, but be prepared to accept all outcomes whether good or bad.

Masculine energy in the context of prioritizing logic over emotion then is having boundaries, doing what's right despite feeling resistant, seeing the truth of something, and holding that no matter how difficult it feels, letting the feelings come yet standing your ground.

The most relevant example that comes to mind is continuously arguing with women about something you know is wrong, but allowing the fear of hurting their feelings to sway you to relenting and consequently letting their emotions win, and your logic losing.

Sure you can point out that compassion is needed in such a case, it is also true that validating people's opinions is an act of mature understanding, but you also have to start with honoring your truth before extending compassion outward.

That example is specific to situations that have to do with your boundaries being violated, any disrespect whether an action or words spoken, and the most common phenomena? power struggles where women will try to gain control by playing the victim by acting hurt.

Reclaim your masculinity and stand firm in your logic, be okay with hurting those feelings for the sake of your truth, but be careful not to be disrespectful or violent. It's okay for manipulative intentions and feelings to be dismantled by sober logic.
