Where is Man in Life?
March 6, 2008 by SignaVeritae
Ok, I have been letting you think lightly for long enough. It’s time to think about things that matter. Where is man in life? What is the purpose of life? How is it that man came to be here? All so confusing. It will have to be a 3 post series. We will start with where man is. Where is he? In todays modern culture, he is backing off, becoming stupid and lazy. The dumb moron, who’s wife and kids know ten times better than him. Silly Rabbit Man, don’t you know what a stove is? Pay attention to commercials, and you will see than man is commonly given the atributes of a total moron.
For instance:
-
There’s commercials of men try to figure out what cleaner to use, when they clean something. Even when he figures it out, he sprays himself in the eye. The wife mutters something that you would swear it was: Moron,why is he trying to clean the bathroom. He flunked pre-school.
-
Or the text messaging commercial, when the father makes himself look stupid by texting everyone at the dinner table to pass him food, despite them telling him to stop. In the end, the wife has to take it away from him because he was being bad. Are they going to put him in timeout?
Forgive me if I sound intelligent. Men are demented. Pass it on. I know I should shut up because I can’t read a Mc Donald’s menu, but I’m saying it anyway.
Man’s position is obviously fallen behind. He has submitted his authority to others. He has become weak. He must wake up! Years and years ago, man headed armies, fought battles, roamed and scavanged, went to church. My father read a book, which stated that man what wild at heart. That might have even been the books title. But what has made man give up his auhority? Satan? Fear? The hippie revolution? I honestly don’t know. But what I do know is that it has happened, and that it must be stopped. There is an agenda though, which I can not leave lie. So, here it is:
Men are standards of light, not easily strayed, brave, courageous, trustworthy, just… Men are not easily influenced. Except by one person. Their wives, as it should be. So there and then is how America has lost it’s masculinity, and Satan has won another battle.
But not the war…
Ha! Yes! All part of the war on masculinity. Father Angelo wrote a post on it, and so have I. Great Post Colin!
Don’t worry! It’s not nearly done yet.
Thanks for the neat post. I really enjoyed it, even though I’m a girl. =)
It is something I’ve often wondered about myself. I mean, whatever happened to knights in shining armor rescuing maidens in distress? Like you said, it seems some men have lost there leadership role, and their chivalry. And then there are those who use their stength to harm rather than help others. But it gives me hope when I meet young men (as I still do) who live strong, chivalrous and manly lives. And then there are those like you, who though I haven’t met you, you are trying to spread the manly virtues that are so important. So thank you!
God bless!

is your name really Jo March??
Yes, I know there is equal blame to spread for the downfall of mankind, though I don’t really want to blame anyone so much as just fix the problem. so how do we do it? in physical terms? (you know what I mean right? we will obviously pray about it too.)
but maybe you have more posts on it already…
For goodness’ sake! There are plenty of opportunities for a man to fight battles in this world.
We are currently engaged in two wars, in Iraq and Afghanistan. Certainly men are leading armies in those places. I believe all men of legal age in good mental and physical health can enlist in a branch of the military and do battle.
One can also become an aid worker, doing battle against poverty, disease and hopelessness here and around the world. Teaching and helping people to build self-sustaining, strong communities and families. Overcoming famine. Drought. Pestilence.
(Probably as close as you’re going to get to dragons. Really. Sorry.)
In the same vein, become a doctor and save lives in oh, so many ways.
Firefighters are heroes. They save damsels in distress all the time. As do the police. Teachers fight the scourge of ignorance.
The world is full of opportunities for men of action, who choose not to sit watching commercials for cleaning products (taking them way too seriously). Men who make the choice not to be afraid. Not to be sheep. Not to be told who they are by an outside source. If you want to forage for your food, you can do that. Nobody makes you go to the Stop&Shop or McDonald’s. Get yourself a bow and arrow, a fishing line and (very important) a guide to edible plants and then hie thee to the woods.
There are more than enough enemies to slay — there just aren’t any dragons, orcs, goblins and the like.
But then, there never were.
