Holy_Grail...
You are probably right, I'm sure much of it applies to women as well...but I don't even begin to pretend to be any sort of authority on women, how they think or what makes them tick. I can only speak from my experience as a man. I do have some theories about women specifically...but they are probably better left unsaid for now, lol. Thanks for reading.

You might be on to something there, Alfie!! I do think that a lot of what you said can apply to humanity in general, whatever the gender. Progress and evolution are natural things in any civilization, but when you think about it, our lives now are not at all the way they were "meant" to be. Heck, even biologically and physically. The things we put in our bodies, the lack of physical activity and hard labor....Then like you said, technology and whatnot. Really it's no wonder we're a messed up lot. Kudos to those who can still be good, stand-up men (and women!)

I agree Miaella...
But you don't have to travel back in time, there are still some around, I know some of them personally.

hmm...
I would like to go back and time and meet a hard working, simple man...just for the sake of curiousity...I think as a society we have gotten lazy, and lack core values of displine and work...how times change with each generation

Alf.. I think I understand your point.
The definition of improvement.. and how we proceed there.. is something your post made me ponder. I dont question your intent.

Onetimeagain...Hitler???
C'mon now, which part? The part talking about natural selection? You can't blame me for that...that was natures idea, it just happens to work. I'm not trying to come up with a perfect race. I think there is room for improvement in all of us...all the time, that's all.

ok.. hmm
my first thought was uggg.. this reminds me of Hitler.. trying to come up with the perfect race. I've thought some more and think it has some merit. I think I subconsciously think your on to something.. I don't want my son to be like his father, so much so that I divorced him.. removed him from his immediate environment. That was not the only reason.. but it was a huge factor.

This post helped me considerably in letting go of some anguish regarding my
sons. Because neither had strong role models of men to learn from, I feel now that life can become their best teachers if they are capable of keeping life’s lessons in perspective. My role at this juncture of their lives is to let go and let them fall in order for them to learn how to pick themselves back up. Whether they need to lose jobs, health, love or all, along the way; hopefully it will teach them to better understand themselves, their weaknesses and strengths make them stronger and more capable of finding happiness and fulfillment.
My greatest concerns regarding my sons stem from witnessing problems with other grown men in my life. The lessons they've taken from life have taught them to distrust, hardening their hearts causing them to be angry and fearful for the most part instead of evolving, becoming stronger and more capable of finding happiness and fulfillment in their lives. I pray for my sons more from life than distrust, fear, anger and bitterness from life’s lessons. Thank you for this post.
