Part 1 of this, seemed to help...if not me but a few others inadvertently.
So, for sanity sake I offer up a part 2. Ever went down a rabbit hole Alice? How deep did it go? Did you find what you were looking for?
Don't feel bad, nobody ever does. The answers you constantly seek, you never find. You may view me as "The Mad Hatter". I often times get sucked into rabbit holes. Morbid curiosity tends to get the best of me most times.
You always end up with more questions than answers in the end. Ever find anyone that had the answers Alice? Yea, me either.
Gather round, I'll tell you a story, provided you have the time? But what is time? A number? A place in space? Don't worry, we won't go down that rabbit hole. 😁
There once was a young man...he enjoyed life. He didn't have many friends, but those of what he did have...he thought the world of. He was oblivious to the wicked ways of the world. For the sake of the story, we will call him Jeff. We will forego any of the particulars of Jeff's backstory...relationships...ect (unless you are interested in the story).
Jeff revered women. He thought the world of them, respected them above anything else. Even if he had just met them. He viewed each and every one as special. He opened doors, it was always yes ma'am, no ma'am with Jeff. He viewed the female form as a very beautiful thing and truly enjoyed being in the company of women.
When it came to relationships...he was often overlooked, ignored, friend zoned, told he was "just too nice", told "I like you, but not in that way", or "I think of you as a brother", never chosen but expected to be there when called upon.
It was like this for years for Jeff. He was genuinely confused by it all. He could not understand it, despite everything he tried Jeff still could not understand it. Jeff watched these beautiful angels that overlooked and ignored him turn to the men that most little girls growing up were taught to avoid at all costs. The angels that Jeff would have walked barefoot through broken glass to get to, would have traveled to the ends of the earth just to be in their presence...Those angels he watched actively choose the men they were taught to avoid. Time and time again, these angels were tossed to the side by these men, cheated on...lied to....and it genuinely hurt Jeff's heart to see this happen.
It's quite sad isn't it Alice? Have you wondered what could have possibly been the answer to Jeff's predicament? I'm sure Jeff has wondered many times.
Several years pass...Alice? Have you ever woke up one day...and it not felt like the rest? It had a strange feel to it? This is how Jeff wakes up one morning. It felt strange to him. Almost as if a light switch had flipped. Or in his case maybe a breaker had blown in the box🤣
That day...he seen a rabbit hole...of the red pill variety. It talked to him like a long lost friend. A voice in the fog...guiding him deeper and deeper into the darkness. It spoke of disrespect to men, hypergamy, Ill nature of women, lies told to men, secrecy of women and how they use and emotionally abuse and manipulate men.
Alice? You still with me? This is a story, control your emotions.
Jeff felt as if it were a life changing epiphany. He felt as if his eyes had been truly opened. The friendly voice...that had beckoned him through the fog...had make perfect sense of his life experiences.
The deeper into the rabbit hole he went, the more validated his confusion and feelings had become. It was as if all questions he had...had been answered. He became bitter, hate had replaced love in his heart. Disdain rolled off of his tongue when he spoke to women. He openly and freely disrespected every woman he talked to.
It hurts your heart doesn't it Alice? Imagine how Jeff feels. For a second. Walk a mile in his shoes. It hurts my heart to tie them. Can you feel it? The pain, the anger, the hatred..of what once was pure love and adoration?
Alas, just like every rabbit hole...you always end up with more questions than answers. And so did Jeff. Is this truly what our world has become? This cannot be what is meant between men and women. A constant battle of the sexes? And soon...the cracks of Jeff's new reality began to show. Through those cracks...the light shines through.
Alice? If we are in a rabbit hole...that means we are underground right? Where cracks are...that means there must be a way out nearby...shall we keep searching? Or maybe...or another time?
Wake up Alice...Jeff's name is Travis.
