Non sentire mala sua non est hominis, et non ferre, non est viri.
(Seneca, De Consolatione ad Polybium 17)

It does not belong to the human being not to feel one's own troubles, and it certainly does not belong to the man not to bear them.

Comment: Karl Jung distinguished qualities that were masculine and feminine. These did not necessarily align with male and female.
There is a process of understanding one's journey known as "The Transpersonal" which sees things related to the body as "feminine" and to the mind as "masculine". Clearly, then, all human beings have a masculine and feminine aspect.

Understood in those terms, Seneca's words make a good deal of sense to
me: It is deeply human for us all to feel our troubles. We all have bodies, capable of feeling. Our bodies are the instruments through which we feel the truth deeply--if we are willing to listen to it.

As for bearing our troubles being "manly", I understand this to be every human being's way of making sense of the troubles we bear. We all have that capacity, if we are willing to see, and say.

In the last few months I serendipitously came across the work of Alice Miller. You can check out her work at http://www.alice-miller.com/index_en.php. For Christmas, I got one of her latest books: The Body Never Lies: The Lingering Effects of Cruel Parenting. Seneca's words are a good description of what Miller outlines in bold detail:

What the human being endures through the body, and how the body and mind can work together to tell the truth of it. I strongly recommend
her work.
