It has always been a mystery to me how men can feel themselves honoured by the humiliation of their fellow beings.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Men seem unable to feel equal to women: they must be superior or they are inferior.
All the world wondered as they witnessed... a people lift themselves from humiliation to the greatest pride.
Men know they are sexual exiles. They wander the earth seeking satisfaction, craving and despising, never content. There is nothing in that anguished motion for women to envy.
With this sweet hope of ultimate acceptance with God, I have always enjoyed much cheerfulness before men; but I have at the same time laboured incessantly to cultivate the deepest humiliation before God.
Men must stop being jealous of their power and generously allow freedom and responsibility to others. The reward is harmonious families and society.
Men may feel just disempowered by intimacy, by being close to a woman, and also by feeling the tender feelings that they're ashamed of.
Men feel that cruelty to the poor is a kind of cruelty to animals. They never feel that it is an injustice to equals; nay it is treachery to comrades.
Men naturally despise those who court them, but respect those who do not give way to them.
I feel, as never before, how justly, from the dawn of history to the present time, men have paid the homage of their gratitude and admiration to the memory of those who nobly sacrifice their lives, that their fellow-men may live in safety and in honor.
Men are so willing to respect anything that bores them.
