Brothers, I believe, have the highest potential of mutual benefiting relationship in your entire life.

Meaning they may not be the most beneficial relationship, but have the highest chance to be

I will go over it from a younger brother perspective (which is where I come from)

Your older brother is the ultimate validater on whether you can take your father as a reliable masculine figure, or have to rely on him (i currently have my older brother as my masculine figure).

If your brother when he is older is glad he took his fathers advice and motives you can do that, but if he doesn't and ends up in a bad spot as a result of a masculine killing family, as mine did, he can help you guide you through that and tell you what he wish he did

And most older brothers will tell you this-

Do want you want that you live for

My older brother came out of HS going to college for electrical engineering (what my dad did) and fucking hated and just ended up getting wasted and stoned everywhere weekend

Later he found the truth (not necessarily TRP) but the truth, bunch of typical tropes of parents fake marriage, abiding to society, etc.

He told me everything and opened my eyes, to tell me I had to get my ass off the couch, as 16 year old, which I currently am, I became more aware in 6 months compared to the rest of my life thanks to my older brother

Right now my brother, after considering the military he is going to St. Louis to pursue his music career

To older brothers everywhere
