The lack of mentoring adults, as well as the mixed signals they receive about their most basic urges leaves most confused about who they are as men. Take into account also that many of the male actors in movies act more like boys than men. Boys no longer look to men like Roy Rogers as heroes they wish to emulate, now it is comedians who act like children themselves.<br />I disagree with James Bowman, the difficulty is not getting boys to fight, but controlling that urge in a productive way. Instead of repressing the urge to fight, what I have seen repressed in youth is the idea that men must fight <b>with honor</b>. Boys still fight, but they no longer understand that there is a right way and and a right time to do so. <br />I heartily recommend "Wild at Heart" by John Eldredge to any man looking to better understand who he is as a man. I also recommend it to women looking to better understand men.Chris J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01823624098384650455noreply@blogger.com
