We Didn’t Have Dad’s

When you look around and see these amazing skyscrapers or farms bounding as far as the eye can see. Monuments literally built for no reason other than to show our prowess and strength. You have to imagine the men, the hardy men who built these things.

When you watch documentaries and read history about great civilizations that nearly took over the world, and cities that were greater than others you have to imagine the great men who built and conquered these areas.

When I see the greatest generation who saved the world who literally laid down their lives for us to live in freedom, I imagine the men who were willing to run through machine gun fire to save their family at home from global oppression and their brothers next to them in the moment. They were brothers and they would sacrifice whatever it took for their brotherhood.

The difference between that generation and ours is they had dads. Manly dads carved and chiseled into their form from struggle and adversity. Scarcity provided the mountain that had to be climbed and men lined up one after another to climb it. These men knew the importance of their lineage and shaped their sons in their form and taught their daughters only to respect men cut from the same cloth.

Men now line up at social services for handouts rather than showing up at job sites looking for work. They are so introverted that they cannot interview well because they do not associate with other real men and do not know how to speak to them. Even our intellectuals have become lazy allowing the rest of the world to surpass us in many areas of academia.

For those of us not fortunate enough to have dads we still have a collective of men who are willing to pass on their knowledge, even to those that they did not father. Seek them out, your coaches, your tradesmen, the man you aspire to be; they are everywhere you just need to look, a remnant from times past when the world culled any man who was not worth his salt.

Learn from these amazing examples and pass those lessons onto those around you and eventually you to can belong to the brotherhood, and pass on your valuable knowledge to those coming up the mountain behind you.
