What happened to men with integrity… honesty… morals and values… men who stood for principles.. for doing what was right and for being just and lawful…. What happened to men who were real men.. who did what they said they were going to do… who followed through on obligations. On promises… who you could trust… who’s word was valid and enough for a binding contract… the real men of the world who were dependable and reliable… who were not only intelligent but intelligent with finances.. with decisions.. who cared about their family… stood by their friends… and who you could look up to as heroes… as men you would want your children d to emulate.. great men who loved ther country.. there god… their family, and especially loved their spouse… were faithful to their family and to their partners…. Who took pride in their accomplishments and their work ethic… I don’t mean just manual labor kind of men.. But professional… intelligent, well educated…. who planned for great futures for their children…. Supported dreams of their wives.. Their children.. Helped them to achieve the lives they desired… believed in legacies… understood fratiturnity …. Brotherhood… who made a difference in their community.. in their country and in the world… the real power behind industry.. and commerce… Do such men exist anymore? And if they do.. where are they?…. So many man these days are more like boys who never grew up….lots of talk… no substance… men/boys who seem to pride themselves in not working.. but have big plans for many cars.. and homes.. and material possession….. who play games with people’s lives never thinking of the consequences or the destruction and havoc they create… they think of themselves…first… then as if to appear to be selfless. They throw in a useless offering towards anyone nearby… constantly changing their direction … never seemingly focused on any real goals …. Or having lack of ambition.. and never being able to complete anything. Even small projects….. to me that is not a real man… my dad used to say that if you don’t have a destination any road will do… meaning that if you don’t know where you want to go… well… then take any road because your goals will never be met without a plan of action…. And without a definite destination… goal.. end product…. He also always meant… I needed to have a goal… to reach for… a destination to achieve ….. and then make the correct plan of action… your road or path ….. and follow it until you reach the ending point…. The finish line… the destination…. He also made me believe that all or most goals were achievable… well my mom always brought in the belief that all things were possible… you know the old saying ..when there is a will there is a way…. Actually the philosophy of both complimented each other really well when I think about it now… so the point…. Being … where are the real men… and I am defiantly not talking about men who think muscles are the product of being a real man… but a man who can be strong… and reliable… make you feel safe and protected… and yet be able to still communicate like an intelligent human being… and who has real feelings …. Emotions and gosh wouldn’t it be great if he was also romantic…. And….. well heeled…. Perhaps, Creative, even with a streak of an an entrepreneur… or adventurer….. But honest, loyal, integrity, faithful, moral, decent,
