Men and Life

Men play an important and unique role in life. Naturally, men have an instinct to protect and show strength. However, these natural abilities are often labeled with the phrase, “toxic masculinity.”

One has to wonder why this phrase has become mainstream? To consider a man’s willingness to be protective and strong as “toxic” creates a serious dilemma and can have negative results. For example, men will most likely be at risk of second-guessing what role they should play in life in general, and with women in particular.

It’s for this reason that men may also hesitate to have children; or when they do have children, they have a higher chance of becoming fearful of responsibility. Moreover, when faced with a pregnancy, more men tend to go-along-to-get-along, in that they more than likely will allow women and others to have sole influence on decisions that can be contrary to preserving life.

In summary, men have an important role: they too, can actively participate in preserving life. They can do this by being the natural protectors of children from the moment of conception; in addition, men can show their strength by consistently taking their responsibilities seriously. Hopefully, with the active, positive participation of men, the negative debating and unhealthy relationships between men and women can heal, especially for the sake of preserving the life of children today.

Make Life Count…

In today’s world, there is continuous discussion about when life begins. Life begins the moment a woman becomes pregnant. Even though there may be people who disagree with this, it is a fact; which is why when most women find out that they’re pregnant, there’s often a major celebration.

For example, anyone who watches couples-vlogs on the Internet, is familiar with pregnancy announcement videos. There’s often an appreciation and realization that life is a miraculous gift; and that one day babies will become toddlers, toddlers will become teenagers, and teenagers will eventually become adults.

Everyone’s life counts; even a baby in its mother’s womb. Here’s a gentle suggestion: When you are of the age that you can articulate yourself through writing, why not find ways to highlight why life can be beautiful? Why not emphasize the reality that everyone who is able to exist has the opportunity to make life count on some level?

Make life count. The most effective way to do this is to first acknowledge that you are alive. Then, help others appreciate life and appreciate their ability to make their own lives and the lives of even more people count too.
