I KNOW that we view life differently and we are inspired differently, but we need to understand that the purpose of humanity is one. When humanity or part of humanity is not achieving its purpose, then questions must be asked.
I have had an over 50 years’ journey of life and the opportunity to interact at all levels of human life. My observation is that there is something that is missing in this human life and I want to believe that real men are missing in action.
I look at what is happening in the world today and one question comes to my heart. Where are real men in this generation? Yes, you heard me well. This world is looking for real men and where are they when things are happening the way they are happening?
Homes are without men. Society is without men. Everything is on a fall because real men are missing. What we see are males operating in the place of men. I will show you how.
What real men do
But let me start with what real men are and what they do. Real men are leaders everywhere they are. Life is not a game of followers but of leaders. Real men lead.
Real men are stewards of life, nature, peace, women and children.
Real men are protectors of life. They are protectors of their families. They are protectors of good and goodliness. Real men are providers and givers of hope and faith.
They are givers of love.
Real men are fighters for their offspring and families. They are builders of hope, communities and nation. Real men are dreamers and worshipers of God.
Real men are peacemakers and defenders of justice and the weak. I can tell you that when you look around the world, such men are extinct. Such men are a rare species. Such men need not only to be protected but produced en masse because humanity and nature are suffering and cannot wait longer than this.
Where are such men today in this generation? Men who can father their offspring, communities and nations. Men who can love their wives and their people. Men who can arise in society and defend justice and the cause of the poor.
Where are such men who can call wrong, wrong and call right, right? Where are such men who can take no bribe or bribe anyone for anything?
Men of honesty and integrity. Men who have embraced truth as a standard of life. I am not the only one searching for such men but I believe women are and children are. I believe politics is and so is business, leadership and religion. I believe that even wildlife and all nature is looking and waiting earnestly for such.
The current man
The current man has refused to transform from malehood to manhood. Anything male can sire offspring, chase around females, be violent, and do all sorts of rough and horrible things.
Look at the world today and see what we are doing as men. We are slaves of corruption, thugery, robbery and all you can imagine.
We have killed and maimed. We have manipulated everyone including ourselves. We are fornicators, adulterers and idolaters. We bow to anything that promises money and our love for money has caused us even to sell our blood.
Have you ever heard of human trafficking? Who does it? What drives humanity to such a crime against humanity if it’s not the love for money? Men are abusers of women and children.
In South Africa, one child is raped every three minutes. Every day a woman is killed. We abuse nature in all its forms just for money. We abuse God.
Look at what they do in the name of God. It is unspeakable what men are doing. We have become bullies. We bully everyone. We bully our wives, our children and our neighbours. We bully other men.
We rape other men and call it marriage. The current man is in a bad state. The current man is in a shameful state. The current men do not serve the purpose of manhood. For how long then shall we continue like this?
I know you might think I am out of reality and do not understand the circumstances, I do understand. Circumstances do not shape your manhood. Circumstances are not meant to steal your purpose. They are there to toughen you in who you are.
It is our choices and our belief systems that are at fault. We believe wrong things as men. We are too superstitious.
