How to be a man by Steve Pavlina
The link takes one to Steve Pavlina's page on How to be a man. There was no dearth of men in this part of the world. I am referring to Kerala, India. I have seen many of them. I remember the times when I was a child there were plenty of men. Men with their own time. Men with their own opinion. Men who were bold. Men who were not afraid of taking on. Men who were strong. Men who were not afraid to love.
Men who never bothered what others would think if he spoke his mind. Men who ran their own endeavours. Even if it was fishing on a free day. That was before the time when people got busy in their own life long jobs under an impersonal company that looted them of their spirit and gave them some money.
It is all the more difficult to tell the present generation that there were times such as were conducive for true men. Why do I say this? Men or the so called boys who grew up to became the so called men are now leading an instrumental life. By instrumental I mean a kind of existence as a tool for someone else. Someone or some company or business. These condition the men to live as the American in the movie 'OUTSOURCED' says 'you work your butts off for money'.
That is in reply to the Indian woman's comment that the American 'does not love his company, his boss, his work or the products that the company peddles'. Sadly our own men are becoming such who work for the money and waste their lives for it.
Why are people not even recognising the theft of their own lives?
That was
