Fatherhood

When people post on social media about fatherhood, it's almost always the warm and cute moments that make people go "awwww". It's never about the grit and enduring patience that makes one's hair either disappear or go gray.

I live in a country that is engulfed with so many delusions and illusions.

15 million children are in a family that is designated as single-parent family.

93.7% of those single parents are mothers.

In a country that is replete with "macho" Don Corleone leaders, politicians and father figures - we are now transitioning to the Fucc boi, type of male.

Despite my qualms about organized Christianity - Christian fathers are a rare, necessary and perhaps dying breed. Because in this day and age, nobody wants to be a father. Mothers are linked first through their physiological and then their emotional bonds.

Fathers are linked through sheer will - we have to go against our nature.

We have to endure things we don't really need to endure.

I finished reading "Brave New World" the other day and now all notes read like references to the book. Be a good dad. It's sadly a scarce thing.
