What Will Be Next

Over the last few days so many crazy things happened in the public sphere that it was so hard to pick one and talk about it. I decided that instead of pointing out the crazy stuff it would be much better to show the alternative to it.

Between Critical Race Theory and the border crisis there lives the big lie of political ideology that is known in all post-communism countries. Lenin's and Stalin's Soviet Union had a political classes war, Nazi Germany had a race fight with other groups. You can pick any country run by any totalitarian system and you will find the common enemy everybody had to hate. It seems like we are chasing an imaginary enemy blindly following somebody's crazy ideas.

So let's look at something different. When this world is going insane we have somebody who is so real even though this world is saying something different. I would like to talk about fatherhood. It is a nearly completely rejected and almost forgotten idea. I am saying that it is rejected because for the last few decades this world had done so much to destroy the image of a father. A man has been projected as a horrible person, misusing his power, neglecting his family, as unfaithful and reckless, and so on. Of course, you can find this type of a father, but this is not the rule.

I would like to show you a different meaning of fatherhood. It will take a few posts, but I believe it is worthy to do so.

Who is a father? It is a man who knows himself and because of that he knows others. The sense of identity is very important for every man. There is a reason why our recent culture wants to take away young boy from the influence of a father or generally speaking, a strong man. A young boy growing without a close relationship with his father will not be able to learn such things as responsibility, taking care of others, serving the weak, etc. It is a father's example that helps boys to recognize who they are and why they are different than a woman. A man and a woman are equal but they are not the same and this is a lesson to be learned. A man learns from his father that if something happens, a man has to help children first and then the women and himself the last. Yes, this is the order of serving.

So today's lesson is very simple: a true man thinks about himself last.
