'Thoughts About Our Young Men Today'

"Fathers don't come with a lifetime warranty".
 
   I don't know where I heard this profound statement or exactly when. Unfortunately this is a sad but true statement reflecting the times we live in.
  
  The mother's have the babies so they are left to carry the responsibility while the fathers have the choice to share that responsibility or abandon their descendant/their child, which is a gift from the Creator almighty.
 
  That guy may appear handsome, charming, and masculine but does he have the courage and altruistic love to be a daddy after the romance?
    
  Something our young women should always consider in a guy they have eyes for. But also we parents should consider teaching our sons what truly defines a 'man'. If we don't take the time to instill true manly virtues in our sons they will learn popular culture's idea of a 'man' from mainstream society. And that is a source of many problems in the world today where players, pimps, gangsters, thugs, and womanizers are wrongfully glorified as the pinnacles of manliness in television, movies, and popular music.
 
  We must take time to teach our son's to be real men of responsibility and accountability.
 
  Peace & Many blessings unto you all.
