TRUTH and RECONCILIATION

# data[].attributes.body
I believe people should be emotionally open to others is because emotions are what connects us together as a species. When we give our bottled emotions away, we heal ourselves as well as others. It sets a healthy example of how society should function. And yet being emotionally open is still so socially stigmatized. It is a chore because it is so psychologically taxing, the reason behind this is because it is not practiced nearly enough. Social maturity is a skill that needs to be practiced within our culture so that it is not nearly as stressful and energy taxing as it is.

Wagamese's story of maturity and humility with the wasteful hunters. One which he describes the true meaning of being masculine. Being physically mature and intelligently mature does not always equate to emotional maturity. This is boiled down to a practiced social skill of being emotionally open to others so that pains of of previous baggage does not eat you and others inside and out. As shown with the wasteful and gun-ho attitude of the hunters. I personally, even being white, was taught to use the whole animal when hunting. This creature gave you it's life when you squeezed the trigger. It is your responsibility of what comes after. And if you waste the parts of the animal, it is a reflection of the waste in yourself.

People should not just randomly share their experiences with others. A common attitude to others when you randomly open up to them is to be awkward and repulsed or just plain ignore. Open yourself up to the people who are close and mean something to you. Randos do not care about you. This is a reality of the world. That's why when you come across that one person in the your day -to-day that seems totally off, give them a pick-me-up in a different way from being ultra relatable.
