This video made me think about my Dad. He was always imposing when I was a child. Not in a bad way. He seemed like someone who was best not to be angered. Who would fight off a bear with his bare hands if he had to in order to protect me. As a child, he seemed strong, likely due to the physical demands of his work. But he was nurturing and always encouraged me to walk a righteous path. When our community couldn't find a Santa Claus for the Christmas Party, he reluctantly volunteered to put on the suit and play the roll. In the end, he enjoyed it, maybe more than we realized. He volunteered every year since. Every December 1st, he would sit outside our local pharmacy to collect donations of cash or toys. He took the role seriously. Always suiting up before going to a Christmas Party. Never wanting to risk a child seeing Santa without his beard. He did this for many years, ensuring there was always ample toys so every child got several presents. He would visit the children in the neighborhood as Santa, especially families in financial hardships. He worked with our Non-Profit organizations to improve our community. When he did a charitable act, he never asked for payment. As Santa, he would simply ask them to donate toys or money, never setting a price. He only asked them to offer an amount they could, though he never asked anything of the poor. Then came Covid. Dad disappeared from the public, they didn't know why. They figured due to Covid Lockdowns, he must have felt it best to stay home and not possibly spread the virus. In truth, he contracted Covid in Mid to early November from his best friend. By the 22nd or 23rd, he was in the hospital. By this time, we all tested positive for Covid and isolated until the beginning of December. Those in the community knew what was happening and offered any assistance to Mom. Dad eventually went onto a ventilator. By December 14th, his brain was starved of oxygen due to viral fluid building up in his lungs. Care was withdrawn and family was actually allowed to be there as he passed away from this world. Mom called the local pharmacy, who didn't know about Dad's condition and that he passed. They said many of their employees, and regular customers, have been asking where he was. Everyone was saddened. They put out a board explaining what had happened and why Dad sat outside as Santa every year. So many left donations of cash. Some, including employees there, purchased toys and donated them too. The Manager at Walgreens even donated toys in Dad's memory. Letters of condolences and donations in Dad's memory came in almost every day. We were worried if we would have enough toys for the next Christmas Party. I can say now that our supply of toys is overflowing. He was an example of how to be a real man. I can only hope that I can grow into a man who is worthy of filling his shoes.

[@spaceatom6844]

I think I could say in the name of all here that your Dad was a real example, you had an exemplar and extraordinary father to inspire by. Now let him proud of what man you are become

One of the good things or maybe even the only one of seeing a good man pass away is seeing just how much joy and kindness he brought upon the world and how many will remember him with a smile etched upon their hearts, to see that such men still exist is the only beacon of hope to our species, there is good inside all of us and letting it out is a choise. Some men become legends not for their migth or their accomplishments, they become legends because of their kindness. I shall offer a toast in honor of your father who embodied a Santa that Children could look up to, as a man and as great father and I hope, one day I will be half the man he was.

I like how no one notices the true purpose of that phrase. Just as with any man, appealing to selflessness is manipulation. Gus wanted to manipulate Walter into staying. To keep working as the mule, I mean male, he was being told he is, even when said definition was detrimental. There's no denial in the negativity of Walter, but pretending that little phrase was virtuous is disingenuous or ignorant. Choose whichever fits your case guys.

She is not physically strong as a man, overworked hours and messed up her back. What I am trying to say here, is that as long as you face up your responsibilities in life man or woman with a partner or not, you will be as much as a man as the poem describes. You have to aspire to be a better human being. Recognizing your weaknesses and strengths, and finding value in them. Your self steem will help you avoid people that take advantage of you and your weakness will help you be kind to others who are not strong at the things you are. PD: my mother is doing better now.

[@mickeyguide3112]

of course, any imbecile can destroy. It takes a lot more to be able to take care of others with true love. What this man is talking about is actually what it means to be a good, strong human being. It is very hard, granted. We are spirits in a body. The weak spirit is the one that is the cold and rude etc. It's also the one that falls easily into temptations and is deceived. It is called the 'Fool' in the Bible. Hardest thing is to stay calm and caring to everyone when life's storms hits you repeatedly, in situations where everyone else would freak out. True manliness is to stay calm and calm and care others when those storms hits you. Only then you'll be able to grow.

[@RobG811]

A Man by Edgar Albert Guest A man doesn't whine at his losses. A man doesn't whimper and fret, Or rail at the weight of his crosses And ask life to rear him a pet. A man doesn't grudgingly labor Or look upon toil as a blight; A man doesn't sneer at his neighbor Or sneak from a cause that is right. A man doesn't sulk when another Succeeds where his efforts have failed; Doesn't keep all his praise for the brother Whose glory is publicly hailed; And pass by the weak and the humble As though they were not of his clay; A man doesn't ceaselessly grumble When things are not going his way. A man looks on woman as tender And gentle, and stands at her side At all times to guard and defend her, And never to scorn or deride. A man looks on life as a mission. To serve, just so far as he can; A man holds his noblest ambition On earth is to live as a man.

No longer have a relationship with their children or family. Is that what a successful life is to people? To be alone and angry and prideful? Success is doing the best you can for others. That may be working hard and providing for your family, it may be working hard at home to make sure your children are taken care of and the chores are done.

True manliness is when you are ready to evaporate as a life today, for the sake of other lives. It is when you can consume all within the scope of "now", and with that consumption, are able to produce an insight of the best possible tomorrow. It is the discipline, to execute all actions required to fulfill the prerequisites of shaping the future according to the insight gathered. In a simple sentence, it is to be on the front for mankind, with the awareness of our now and a drive to creating the best possible tomorrow. Any man doing this, is at the peak of masculinity.

I have those struggles now, im not really a kind person nor do I feel a lot of empathy. But I've been trying to learn to be humble and less angry. I pray on it sometimes when I remember to pray. I have my demons and my temptations that I battle daily but I dont give up. I need to conquer those before I can learn humility and kindness. I do protect the weak wherever possible and stand for what is right. And Im learning and practicing holding my tongue. I did not have a great father or older brother so Im having to learn these things at 33. Its tough but I have a good woman who teaches me these things. But at times I feel we are polar opposites on issues. Which brings up my bitter side and my decisions on matters leans to the violent side whereas she leans on the non confrontational side. But she is very empathetic and sympathetic and kind. So she calms me down many times. I have a long way to go but with every year that passes Im getting better.

Don’t worry about being a real man. Worry about being a good father, good son, good husband, good boyfriend, brother, nephew, grandfather, grandson, uncle, neighbour, etc, and you will automatically become a real man.

[@fitcher-armchair-sleuth]

Yes indeed.

[@josephkee1466]

So inspiring

[@neomileft3409]

I strive everyday to be a man. Like my father. I am rude and rough. I want to be gentle and kind yet fierce and rugged when need be. I’m expecting a child in November and I want to be the best dad. I want and will conquer these challenges.

The ❤ of a father is the masterpiece of Nature...

Rare speech left about manliness

[@kanserthecrab899]

I recently fell out of a relationship with someone I trusted. No one cheated but neither of us could understand how to make things better. I’m here healing but first I want to learn how to grow up again.

Man I really needed this!

The ultimate measure of man is not where he stand in times of comfort and convenience but where he stands in times of controversy and challenges .-Maryin J Luther King And from a woman who I loved ' a true measure of man is in what he does .Period .' 'A true man is a man of wisdom and who knows his top priority is his family and friends ' Ellen J Barner

[@nemoa.retreoh5289]

That is exactly what I always say: "Masculinity is to protect the weak and to stand up for the good and the right! And not take what you want by force without considering loss!" . Because to be a good person is not a weakness, on the contrary it requires a lot more strength than to be a bad person!!!

My daddy a silence King of our lions den lol was a man who always showed emotions behind closed doors, but in the face of the world he was a protector to women and children, at 6'6 he was a man with a lions roars, loud when needed but soft when handling those who need a cub. My Dad never had that true chance to be the LION he should have become the Principle to our family, but now it falls upon me.

[@treytoomuch]

That’s beautiful ❤️

Powerful for men of all ages and very instructive for fathers raising boys and young men. Excellent.

[@Silent.observer.2024]

Amazing. Every man should be like this, and every woman too. Every human being should.

[@isaacrayder]

We are the chosen ones for this to find us today.

[@MrJoker-]

Very powerful words, the actions will prove to be even more tremendous!

[@foxstone8718]

These words remind me of my father and the lessons he gave to me as a young boy; moderation in all things, it's easier to be cruel than to be kind, and to always lend a helping hand. I can only hope that I can continue live up to his expectations. I miss you every day, pop.

[@tkogb4964]

Moved me to tears and touched me in a way that I thought was impossible.

[@notjebbush4478]

Please change the title. This isn't just a powerful speech for young men-it's a powerful speech for all men.

[@ericmatthews3619]

This is what I needed to hear... I feel as if I heard this before. I am trying to find a way to have everyone breath a collective sigh of releif and be happy for their future, rather than fearing it. I am searching for truth in a world of lies

[@anobodyreally]

This is beautiful!

The culture of power There is only one culture and that is the culture of power. When I am strong, people respect my culture. when I am weak, I fall, and my culture falls with me. When Rome was militarily strong, Latin was the ruler of languages. When the Roman Empire fell, Latin became a spaghetti dish. Culture, my dear, does not lie in the number of books I have read, but in the number of bullets I have fired. Nizar kibani

[@bettermanchannel770]

Wow!!

[@mariakrastev7094]

The voice is so calming and deeper…good for bed time stories.

[@tinawalker8174]

Magnificently read and the words are beautiful and essential to share.

[@beast-master2094]

Every word contained within this poem is true for my beloved prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him. He was a mercy to humankind.

[@anshuman1979]

Yes.. We all know what he did.

[@tomdooley3522]

He almost had it right , manliness can be hard as steel and cold as ice, it can stand in the face of death, and not back down. Because his wife and children are to be protected even at the cost of his life. When you remove ,Love , Honor and Obay from the marriage vow , you didn't make a woman a man's equal you removed his place from the family. Once removed from the family a man has no natural place in Society.

[@houndofthepines5778]

Thank you so much for this. I thought for many years loving as much as I do was unmanly.

[@MasteryOrder]

Love is an essential and precious element of life. Protect it and cherish it. If masculinity and mastery are subjects of interest to you, I invite you to explore the videos shared on the Mastery Order Channel to challenge yourself with some ideas about manhood and to become the kind of man you would admire. We can only better ourselves together, as men among men, so I invite you to use what I share and, of course, give your own opinions so that others can benefit from them as well. Looking forward to your points of view. All the best to you!

[@ericyutko7440]

Strength. Wisdom. Love.
