Why men are important?

Men are a family's liaison to the world that exists outside of the family's immediate environment. As a result, they offer very valuable life lessons on how one should navigate the world that exists outside of one's environment. For example, the worlds of business and politics. Our sons need Fathers.

The World needs Men. Men are the key architects of our bridge to the future. And our children are our future, our bridge to the future. Yes, Men are necessary. Every day in their usual unassuming way, Men offer each of us valuable life lessons. Life lessons about honor that one’s word should be one’s bond. If you say you are going to do something, then you must do what you say you are going to do and then do it with no excuses . . . no complaints. Just go about the business of delivering what you have promised. Men offer life lessons about sacrifice. Quietly and unceremoniously, Men who are Fathers throughout our global village place their own personal dreams on a shelf, and work at back-breaking, spirit-numbing, and for many very dangerous jobs so that their children can have access to economic and educational opportunities that they themselves could only dream of. Men will walk through fire for their children, if that is what it takes to keep food on the table for them, a roof over their heads, and clothes on their backs. Many of these men after completing a grueling day at work, return home and play an active role not only in the positive emotional, intellectual and psychological development of their own children, but also mentor other children and serve as coaches of neighborhood basketball, baseball, softball, soccer and hockey teams. And when asked by their country to serve in their nation’s military and defend their country in an unarmed conflict thousands of miles away from their families, Men quietly and unceremoniously answer the call, not knowing whether they will return to the families they are leaving behind. Sadly, a number of these men never return. These men have made the ultimate sacrifice. They have given their lives in defense of their country. Men are a family’s liaison to the world that exists outside of the family’s immediate environment. As a result, they offer very valuable life lessons on how one should navigate the world that exists outside of one’s environment. For example, the worlds of business and politics. Our sons need Fathers. Men help the young males of our society successfully navigate the journey from childhood to manhood. It takes a man to teach a boy how to be a man. It takes a Man to provide our sons with the positive affirmation that only a Father can give positive affirmation that our sons so desperately seek and need to receive from an adult male. It takes a Man to prepare the young males of our society for their future roles as husbands, fathers, and productive members of our global village once they reach the age of maturity. A young man’s relationship with his father determines, to a large degree, how he will raise his own children.

Our daughters need Fathers. Fathers shape our daughters’ first images of men. Fathers shape the decisions that our daughters make when choosing a career and choosing a mate. Fathers shape our daughters’ perception of their self-worth and their place in the world. It takes a Man to provide our daughters with the positive affirmation that only a Father can give positive affirmation that our daughters so desperately seek and need to receive from an adult male. A young woman’s relationship with her father determines, to a large degree, how she will raise her own children. If you are a Man reading this who has felt or was made to feel “unnecessary”, “unwanted”, and “unloved”, I am here to tell you that you are, indeed, necessary. You are wanted. You are loved. And your selfless sacrifices and never-ending contributions to our families, our communities, and our world are appreciated more than you know.

Happy International Men's Day! This day is celebrated on November 19 annually.
