Well, I finally climbed the mountain, traversed the swamp, fought the wild beasts,and jumped through all the hoops and now I am REGISTERED! So I shall begin by making a small disagreement with you, it sounds like you subscribe to papa Hemingway's definition of a real man as an outdoorsmen, Green Berets, Seals, John Wayne, James Bond etc.
I would submit there are many more "real men" who are actually quite ordinary, who work to support their families, who teach their children and others to live morally upstanding and spiritually inspired lives without performing grand heroic feats of skill or athletic prowess. The hardships and tribulations all face may be overcome by heroic effort but they may also be quietly endured by the strength of faith and the comfort of the Holy Spirit. I submit that a real man may be Daniel Boone or also Mr. Rogers who spent his later years teaching children to be honest, caring,and well mannered. To be forgiving and understanding and never to bully or ridicule.
As a side note Mr Rogers wore those long sleeve sweaters to cover many tattoos he got while he served as a navy seal! Yes! But because of his faith and the Holy Spirits help he choose to express his manhood in a different manner!
The road less traveled is from the Robert Frost 1920 poem of the same name that Scott Peck borrowed as a title to his book! I am so very glad that the new-look Apopka Voice still includes articles by the old I look ChazTowne!
