BLACK MEN VULNERABILITY The Rock Shares A Powerful Message For Men On Why Being Vulnerable Is A "Superpower"

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has a message for men, and men of color especially: be vulnerable. While this seems like a way to confront past traumas and fears, it is not in vulnerability that a man can find strength.

In fact, it is in the integration of morality and mind that can only produce a healthy mental lifestyle. As Johnson, who has shown off his physicality wears glasses and suits instead of tights and boots, he is now empowered to say he has sessions with prominent men about their state of mental health.

He has responded to the reality of suicides and other calamities that have occurred in the past. He has demonstrated that his black father provided for him but never really communicated his love for him. He wants men to be able to be in chat chains talking about what’s going on in their lives.

To be a man, one must stand on and act upon principles. If the male cannot be a paragon of ethics and be able to challenge anyone, then vulnerability will not save him. It is only pride and selfishness that will save the man who wishes to be a man.

All of the talk of therapy could be enlightening but not everyone has to go to therapy. It is more important to look introspectively at one’s own flaws, seek to correct them, and go on under the weight of their own mental prowess.

Given today’s landscape of deplorable examples in Nick Fuentes, Andrew Tate, and Clavicular, among others, there is a rift between the stated ideals of what manhood should be and what it actually is. Reason, purpose, and self-esteem are the hallmarks of a healthy human being. Any man or woman for that matter should take into account the power behind holding onto and displaying these core values of Ayn Rand’s philosophy of Objectivism.

By searching for the right way to carry oneself, men in particular ought to discover this revolutionary ideology in order to obtain a key placement in their own lives. Rules for Living by Dr. Yaron Brook highlights the examples one must show in order to live a life that is full. It is such a strong case for men of this era especially to rise above the din of wanting to be physical and posture all the time.

For a man as built as Johnson, he has the capacity to think and the understanding of someone whom someone might not take for a thoughtful individual. He always speaks well and knows the difference between what is right and what is going to lead someone to destruction. As he dishes game on how to be a better man, he looks inward at his own life and success and credits his father for doing his part in making him a man.

In a world set up to see men fail, to look stupid or goofy in a toxic way, Johnson is telling men to be vulnerable. The truth is that morality does not lie in vulnerability but strength. It is the strength of character that will position men to be better drivers of their minds. To regard strength in a psychological rather than a physiological sense is what ought to power them to fend off the raging forces of indifference and injustice.

Virtues, not vulnerability, ought to be at the crux of everything a man does. They should be embedded in his spirit like code to a computer program or website. This should empower men to exact revenge against their inner demons and strive their better angels to fly higher in their minds.
