I’m happy to report that I celebrated my 80th birthday on December 21, 2023. It’s been stated that the 2 most necessary days of your life are (1) The day you had been born and (2) The day you discovered why. You recognize the day and month of my start and may simply determine the 12 months. The day I discovered why I used to be born was on November 21, 1969, the day my first son, Jemal, was born. Once I held him in my arms shortly after he got here into the world, I made a promise that I might be a distinct sort of father than my father was in a position to be for me and to do all the things I may to assist create a world the place fathers had been totally wholesome and concerned with their kids all through their lives.
When our daughter, Angela, was born on March 22, 1972, I began MenAlive.com. I noticed that if I used to be going to satisfy my promise to my kids, I needed to be taught to be wholesome in physique, thoughts, and spirit myself. We all know that’s not a simple process. One of many issues that has turn into more and more clear to me as I’ve lived these eighty years is that our world has turn into more and more unhealthy. What we name our international local weather disaster is known as a symptom of a world out of stability, or extra precisely, a world the place human beings are out of stability with the group of life on planet Earth.
The rising temperature of the planet is the fever response to a systemic sickness.
Historian and “geologian,” Thomas Berry, warned us:
“We by no means knew sufficient. Nor had been we sufficiently intimate with all our cousins within the nice household of the earth. Nor may we take heed to the assorted creatures of the earth, every telling its personal story. The time has now come, nevertheless, once we will hear or we’ll die.”
