Unconditional love is for women, children and dogs. Man that's one hell of a statement.

Always just sleep with women. Never feel the need to be in a relationship it's always bad. I'm so happy I just chose to sleep with women and move on. Men and women aren't supposed to coexist together. It's just a societal conditioning.

Dear to you Religion is known by its sources? Yes. It has been distorted!!! There is no fixed gospel, there are four and they differ greatly I do not blame you, but the literal translation of texts and distortions by criminals who perverted Christianity. And they turned it into worshiping people instead of God and seeking the help of Christ. Do you seek help from a dead person while he is a human being who does what humans do and eats what they eat? But he was chosen by God to deliver his message for the people for that Creator of the universe revealed A book confirming what was before it from the books of the Torah and the Gospel Recounting the stories of those who preceded us from among the Children of Jacob and those before them, and how their condition was, and a teacher for us of the facts. It is a miracle in every aspect in terms of language or in terms of the stories in it, and the encouragement to learn, read, and research. In this book, there are scientific facts, and every time They discover something new that they find in the Qur'an that exists or urged by the illiterate prophet He did not know how to write or read, and he said these words that puzzled the eloquence of his people and their poets, and made them enter into the religion of God in crowds. Upscale values The first of which is divine monotheism Question who create you? God Almighty. Or Jesus, peace be upon him A:"God the Creator" So how does He command us to worship others? .. Does he need a son or a wife he does not need He is God in the heavens and on earth, and to Him is the safest of them both, willingly or unwillingly And to make it clear to you that Jesus is the servant of God and His Messenger He used to do what humans do in terms of jobs, and he needed what creation needed And he has miracles from God in order to believe in God and His Messenger, Jesus son of Mary Whose birth is a miracle, like all the signs of God in His creation. God, if He wants something to be, He says, “Be,” and it is I call to believe in God and to disbelieve in those who are less than Him, for He is the Creator and the rest are all weak creation God is not weak. In the sense that we get sick, so we use medicine And We love, so we need a marriage who completes the meaning of your life And we need to worship God alone with no partner, and to love what He love and hate what he hate And in the end I am so sorry but this the realty , who created you and I He does not enter the toilet and does not need tenderness Or any thing, for he is the one who gives it He doesn't need us And we need him, and he is more merciful to you than your mother, and he will not torment you If you do not associate with Him and sincerely intend to Him, Glory be to Him, With Obidience of Allah Our Religion is Not something absurd, but it is accurate science that leads you to the truth of life, why we are here, and where we are going Open your heart to the truth because the truth is one Our God and your God are one and unique . Are you Muslims? He is the most merciful and How has sever punishment and we must appreciate Him and to flow his path

Thank you for your service. Dax and Tom MacDonald just released a song called soldier which was made for you.

[@rogerscurlock2927]

I agree with most of your sentiment. My only issue is with the term "toxic masculinity". That term is also part of the problem. Men are vilified for simply being men. Broadly labeling male trails as toxic just reinforces that men don't matter.

[@infadubz]

No such thing as toxic masculinity it’s only a term in prison

[@pjb-q3o]

i agree. mat using that term "toxic masculinity " is why i thumb down. there's a time and place for feelings. when there's a problem, crying bout it won't help(unless ur a woman, then simps white-knight). sometimes the time and place to do feelings are rare or nonexistent. whose fault is it when a man doesn't feel safe or secure in sharing feelings in his relationship or friend group. many women have a tendency to become unattracted to their men when they show weakness, and many times they classify men having emotion as a weakness (the exception being sadness at death of family or loved pet). but if this is called toxic femininity, there'd be an uproar from the feminists.

[@MichelleMullaney-d8g]

It's a song not an autobiography. However, the Poet DAX has had personal experiences that he draws from. He has been transformed and his new songs are from a Spiritual awakening.

[@Brothersam]

Love that ya'll reacted to this. As a father, a husband, a son, a brother, and a man, i learned it's not about hiding my emotions; it's about learning when it's ok to let these emotions out because not every situation where you let your emotions control you helps. It's sometimes very necessary to be strong for your family and find ways to solve the problem of losing your job, losing your home, losing your kids; sometimes it just doesn't help to express our rage, our sorrow, our grief, because it doesn't help the situation. It's tough when people think this is toxic in being a man instead of being stoic as a man. (Not talking about ya'll, just the general hate on men lately in this day and age). We've gone from being ignored by society with our feelings to now being pinpointed as evil or toxic because of our stoichism to get things done. Just my two cents; again, I appreciate ya'll reacting to this song. It's a phenomenal song about men.

[@tyketto8]

I've noticed that in most of the reactions to this song the women say men need to stop hiding their emotions. That's essentially saying it's our fault. Dax is right. They don't understand. We feel expendable and we just have to suck it up until a better provider comes along or we die.

I started out the opposite of you, i found out the hard way that when you show emotions as a man to a spouse they usually start seeing you as not a man. 90% of women who out earn men file for divorce statistically so if you are surviving this then you are in the minority. This song is 100% true about modern society. Yes my ex wife left me for another man in the end.

A song can be well written. But it is just a more tolerable noise if it says nothing. A more tolerable vibration if it does not make one feel something. It would be so easy for Dax to make music that is not important, that does not use his platform to give amplification to small voices. And just as easy to make something worth saying, because the platform he has gives him the chance to be honest, to see something, to say something, and to be something.

I love your reaction. I have kids divorced from that narcissistic mother. That kind of person is really hard to deal with. You can't show no emotion in front of that kind of person. She cheated I caught her but even in that situation nobody really wins. My lawyer eat her alive but my kids didn't understand so they chose to stay with her. So like Dax said nobody cares about your feelings. But I made it work. Of course with no help but I keep the peace, and the peices of our 16 years of living together in my heart. My kids are the best things that ever happened to me. Love ya. Thanks for this song great work..

I want to thank you guys from the bottom of my heart for giving honest reviews. I am a father that is a stay at home dad and this song hits home for me in so many ways. I have a 4 year old daughter and i am always feeling i should be the one to provide an it not fall off on my wife. But after hearing you guys react to this song and the emotions you both had. It makes me understand im ok to show my self and i can be a man and raise my daughter in my best ability that i can. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING.

You guys are awesome! I am one of the people who was taught to not cry around people who are looking up to you. My girlfriend is much younger than me and she has a 7 year old son. When he told me he loved me and started calling me dad that was the closest I ever came to crying in front of them. They’ve never seen me cry and they never will. And it’s not about toxic masculinity. It’s about being their leader and who they can depend on and who knows I’ll take care of them. What if we went to war and the president was on tv and he was crying and being like “we’re screwed guys and I don’t know what to do”. You wouldn’t feel safe. That’s why I believe as a guy you can’t cry in front of the people who look up to you as a leader. I’m not saying don’t ever cry. Sometimes I pull over on my way home from work just to deal with my emotions but then I dry those eyes and come home and be the strong leader of our home. What women would feel safe and secure if her man was always crying over every little thing? I’m the one my girl buries her head into my chest and she cried and I care for her. Not the other way around because I’m the spiritual leader of our household.

I grew up being shamed for crying growing up and it sometimes feels impossible to cry, I have to be by myself and watching / listening to something to actually cry.

[@elizabitty213]

I cried so hard with you guys. I really needed to cry about this topic to remind myself to not take the men in my life for granted. Love and hugs to you guys! Subbed. 🙏🏻🥹💕

I luv'd d fact that ur emotions were real, this was you guys being vulnerable and pricked by the song. And is good, I luv it. I listen'd to d song and realized loads of wt my late dad went thru for me and ma siblings. As the only son with three sisters, he tutored me and, made me realize life demands more from us than women. Society sees us as warriors, weathering storms just to make things happen. First time he shed tears while we driving, I felt why is dis man crying, I asked him and, he said son is not bad if u cry when things eat u up, u need to let go at tyms. Now I can connect, he is late now, his sacrifices, his legacy now resonates more with me. The path to becoming a man ain't easy.

[@joshc.6706]

Such a great reaction. I completely understand the whole toxic masculinity thing. Playing individual sports my whole life. As a little kid the coaches tell me, it’s just you, you need to be mentally tough, you cannot show emotion. Then mixed into men don’t show emotion. Well as a kid I’m not told that playing sports with emotion more times than not is problematic. Therefore a boy can’t separate the situations and they believe in all facets of life that they’re not to show emotion and not talk about anything. That messed me up for a long time. Repressing emotions and pretending they don’t exist leads to only a couple outcomes and none of them are good

[@willisgls]

first real reaction I've seen on YT! cool vid

[@johnbouche9740]

The feels were hit really hard. Awesome reaction. And this guy hit everything on the head. Great reaction.

[@joshthorsell635]

Dude held it together better than I did... If he didn't talk, I think he would've made it..... much love brother... We all feel this song in our soul...

[@MrKraeg]

I am mid Gen-X. This song hit hard - we were always taught not to show emotion because that's a weakness someone can exploit in sports, work, or just in general life.

[@TonyMullinnix]
