Every man, great and ordinary, famous or forgotten, enters
this world traumatically and begins to perceive his surroundings through the eyes of a child. It is during these tender years that he experiences the beginnings of his masculinity.
Our development as men is shaped by the things we encounter as children. Our masculinity is defined by our fathers and our relationships. Dysfunctions in our adulthood were also shaped or influenced by the presence—or absence—of the men who fathered us. What painful childhood memories haunted young Adolf Hitler? Who touched the life of Martin Luther King, Jr., or of Abraham Lincoln? What childhood pains or dreams framed the thoughts of Malcolm X and Mahatma Gandhi?
Our father’s absence can form a sustained question in our minds, a haunting thought, Maybe it was something I did or something I lacked that caused him to leave. We learn the art of suppression early, deeply burying the painful questions and the native sensitivity that is so easily bruised. We suppress the natural creativity that springs from a probing mind as we encounter the pain of continually being told, “Shut up! I don’t have the time to listen to you.”
Our fathers are our first definition and demonstration of masculinity. Unfortunately, our fathers’ model has caused many of us to equate masculinity with absence, irresponsibility, sullen silence, or violence. All the fruits of our manhood are rooted in our childhood—our self-esteem, our inner awareness of who we are, our sexuality, our preferences. They are all deeply planted in the soil of our early memories, experiences, and definitions.
All that I express, speak, and understand is relative to my childhood. You will never understand the man I am on the outside until you have touched the child within me. Wife, beware. Children, beware. Pastor, beware. Boss, beware. If you never develop empathy for the little boy in me who is holding a blanket and sucking his thumb in a doorway, watching everyone leave, then you will never understand my erratic behavior as a man on the job, or in the bed, or with my own sons and daughters
Ebooks listed below will play a huge role in shaping us for our roles as men, husbands and fathers. We can't afford to repeat some of the ills of our own childhood to our wives and children.
