Happy New Year! With this new year, I would like to shift our focus, not just on our health, but on paradigms that modern liberal thinking has corrupted, brought to a point in which they have lost their true meaning. The first paradigm being that of masculinity. We read and hear so much "garbage" about "toxic masculinity," and the truth is that masculinity has become "toxic" because that is what the liberal agenda has made it to become.
Let be frank for just a moment, and realize that masculinity is not about social status, it has nothing to do with income, "dad-bods," beards, or even a muscular physique. Modern thinking, liberal agenda, and social media would have us believe that masculinity are just that. It would have us believe that we should strive to attain those things, especially social status and behavior that make men, well "men."
True masculinity, what really separates the men from the boys, has nothing to do with those things, and has everything to do with significance, purpose, and what we leave behind; not what we have or accumulate. Being a "real man," means taking responsibility for ourselves, those around us, and the situations and circumstances we have control of, affect, or even influence. Being a man has everything to do with stewardship and serving, and has nothing to do with status.
Being a real man is more of a paradox than a paradigm. Being humble, serving, caring, patient, compassionate, forgiving, etc, are not what modern thinking and the liberal agenda place as characteristics of being a "man," but those are the exact traits a real man should have. Again, being a real man is about significance, not status. While status is nice, and we all want a comfortable life, what we leave behind for the next generation is more important.
So I ask you, take the time to think, ask yourself, what was you dad like, your grandfather, your great grandfather? What was most important to them? What traits and characteristics did they have that the "modern man" does not? In my honest opinion, its time to reject modernity, embrace masculinity again, dismiss liberalism, and let real men rise up and be stewards before there is nothing to be stewards of.
