Foolish Blind Machismo in American Men
The problem with the American men, is that they are like some kind punch drunk wrestler, who is an imbecile, who is only capable of taking on what seems to be an obvious enemy without, at the command of others, like some kind of pit bull. I suppose these American men think such is an admirable imitation of their heroes, but is it? What kind of classy football or basketball player is like that? The winning ball teams, are savvy, not brutish, they can comprehend things like enemies within.
Masculinity consists of being able to identify the Satan that pretends to be an angel of light, or the Satan that thinks it is an angel of light but is not. Looking at American men, you would think masculinity consists of being an idiot who worships any rich non Christian man in a three piece suit who proclaims himself to be a deity, an angel of light.
Real masculinity, real being someone who is headed for heaven not hell, consists of being wise enough to discern the folly of drooling over temporary advantages that hide long term disaster.
Real masculinity, real sainthood or shall we say heavenhood--what the nation and the world needs is not sainthood in everyone just everyone being a little bit better--consists of being able to see through the deceits of enemies within, it consists of working with the mind until such are understood.
Deceit, is a form of warfare. Warfare in an inappropriate context is criminal and sinful, harmful to what is of high quality in terms of voice personality appearance and intelligence in society. King Solomon said, that a man who deceives his neighbor and then says ha ha I was only joking, is as dangerous as a man swinging a baseball bat. Those who habitually deceive, are at war; when their deceit/war is in an inappropriate context, it becomes criminal and sinful.
I am pessimistic regarding the future prospects of a society filled with men, who individually or banded together in groups, put money, family and career above all else. Such hubris it seems, can only lead to devolution in the sense of the human racing growing progressively lower and lower in terms of voice personality and appearance, and also in terms of its overall physiological, psychological, social, economic, political and spiritual state. I consider it to be a myopic perversion of Christianity, this idea that a real man, a saint, obdurately in all situations puts himself, his career, his family, and his pocketbook above all other considerations. I do not see how the ancient Israel of David and Solomon that eventually produced Christ, could have survived had its men been like this, selfish like American men.
Aside from picking out this or that scripture while ignoring this or that scripture, lets get down to brass tacks. How important, really, to the welfare of the nation and of the world, are these men and their families? Are they all really so important compared to the millions of people they are not close relatives of, whom they screw up through their misbehavior?
