| Chivas regal points out how gentlemen ought to be, in their 'Live with chivalry' campaign. |
Okay, so most of us are depressed at the current situation
with the male category of our race (you know, with the intimidating, raping and
murdering, amongst the larger problems we face from them). But you all will be
glad to know that the world is not, in fact, completely overcome by this sort.
We all know how empty vessels make most noise. You see, that is the problem -
The ideal men, such as we seek (kind, sensitive, just) do exist; however, they
are under-represented. Of course you will never find the nice men bragging
about how amazing their sort can be. They just are, and their niceness is them,
not a heroic act that they deem the need to parade around. It does seem like
they are a few in number. Sadly, there are no statistics that I know of, and
hence cannot judge. Maybe they are in a large number, saving the world from
utmost chaos, or maybe they are struggling for existence, but carrying on their
work in the shadows, like the superheroes that they soon will be considered, if
the other sort dominates. Instead, I
choose to be optimistic and assume that there are nicer men around and that someday
there will be an uprising amongst the males of our species and they will
overthrow the horrible sort that causes us to feel the need to constantly be
agitated and defensive. Yes, and then we all will hold hands and walk into the
sunset, to live happily ever after. I know that isn't happening (Sigh). Yet. This
is probably why I appreciate the good men out there, and hope and vow to
propagate the same amongst other men. Every time a stranger holds the door open
for me, I try not seeming obviously surprised, or remotely suspicious; instead,
I thank them, genuinely. I usually mean to thank them for their existence, and
the blessing that the factors responsible for their nature are to the planet.
But that I leave unsaid, so as not to seem like a crazy person. I have met such
men, and a lot of the despicable sorts. It is probably human nature that the
impact of bad things stays on longer, and we tend to remember the bad things
done to us better. But do not let your hopes down, for hope is all we have. I
simply try to enjoy the company of the nice men around me, who treat all women
as equals, and promise myself to inculcate the same unto every impressionable
boy I can influence.
In a nutshell, what I mean to say is this – there are good
men out there, and we need to appreciate them for not being the awful men in
the news, and so, we ought to stop generalizing men. Maybe there still is hope
for mankind?
