Interviews
Good men, Bad men, a few good men…
Everywhere you turn, there are stories of bad men.
- Males who left their wives because the grass was “greener on the other side” only to find they got burned jumping the fence.
- Males who left their children because they did not feel capable and worthy of fatherhood.
- Males who just plain gave up.
(Notice I said, males, not men, because these people were not men, they were males)
Manhood, fatherhood and being a husband is not a popularity contest. It is not for the weak. Wake up! You have to be tough, you have to be honorable, you have to be a man. This is the requirement of manhood. This is why man is the root word of manhood.
There will be good days, there will be bad days, but you must stand and be determined to be a man.
That being said, this page provides you with my periodic interviews of men. These men are young, old, black, white, you name the background, I will provide you with various backgrounds and beliefs.
The common thread of all these men is that there are men. They have not shied away into the night. They have stood up for the proper principles of manhood–right or wrong. These men have not always made the right decisions, but they are constantly striving to be better. The ups, downs and complexities involved with being a man can be challenging (as these men will admit). But, they cherish their wives. They are passionate about being great fathers. And they have answered to be awesome men in this world.
