We need so much more of this from men. Just imagine what our world would be like if men were allowed to show compassion, emotions other than hatred and anger, and all of that would be respected and not ridiculed.

Homophobia
Misogyny
Xenophobia
and
Fear (which must immediately be masked with hatred and/or anger along with verbal grunts or disrespectful slurs)

So moving, the humanity. Also, the beauty of the moon, the immensity of space, and the humbleness of just how small we are in the scheme of things. Did I cry? Absolutely, started as one tear falling and by the end I was blubbering. Maybe I just needed a little release after the past couple days! Thank you for sharing.
