00:00:00.000Greetings, true friends. Today I want to elaborate a bit on something I've touched on on numerous occasions before, and that is regarding if you listen to others.
00:00:10.000Now the first key is, do they want the best for you? And in the case of most mothers and fathers, the answer is yes.
00:00:18.000And then the secondary question becomes, do they know what is up?
00:00:24.000And now, this video, I also want to take a stab at feminism and the notion that a child could grow up without a modern father.
00:00:32.000Now, I'm not taking any stab at anyone who has grown up without a father. It's not your fault.
00:00:37.000But I also want to aware as many people as possible of the dangers of growing up without a father.
00:00:43.000Because as a child, when you listen to, you know, voices of authority, like a maternal one and a paternal one, a masculine and feminine,
00:00:51.000it's really important that you have the masculine voice as a countercurrent towards the feminine one.
00:00:58.000Because if you only listen to your mother, if I had only a mother growing up, like, my mother is really protective, even to this day.
00:01:05.000And I've said to her, like, don't you see how fucking massive and juicy I am?
00:01:09.000And she's like, oh, you know, I can see it with my eyes and my brain understands it.
00:01:13.000But in my heart, you're still just a little bear cub that I have to protect.
00:01:17.000And that is, of course, very sweet of her.
00:01:19.000And I think the maternal instinct is one of the most beautiful things in nature.
00:01:24.000But realize that it can be detrimental to you as a man as well.
00:01:28.000If you have that sort of overprotective feminine quality that hovers over you without a masculine voice saying, like, oh, you know, you need to be pushed out in the world to hurt yourself a bit to grow as a man.
00:01:41.000Like, and to take my upbringing as an example, I had a glorious brother also, and we wrestled a lot.
00:01:47.000We, you know, were adventurous as boys are.
00:01:50.000I don't know nowadays with most guys, with most children are in by the computer all the time.
00:01:54.000But either way, when I was small, out climbing trees, doing that sort of things.
00:01:59.000And my mother also was protective back then.
00:02:03.000And, you know, when we wrestled, she wasn't all too happy about it.
00:02:06.000But her father said, like, you know, they're boys, let them be boys.
00:03:17.000Like, a father would need to push you out and say, like, you know, be a man now.
00:03:21.000And that is also because he cares about you.
00:03:24.000Your mother cares about you with her maternal instincts.
00:03:27.000And your father cares about you with his paternal instincts.
00:03:30.000But he also realized that as a man you need to do certain things.
00:03:33.000And you can't be sheltered and protected all the time.
00:03:35.000So, the main point of the video is, even if you have people who care about you very much, you should listen to the voice which resonates the best with a certain situation.
00:04:17.000And I would not have wanted to grow up without her, I think.
00:04:19.000I mean, you need the maternal voice just as much as the paternal one.
00:04:23.000But why I chose to focus on the paternal side was that that's more common than growing up without a mother.
00:04:29.000But, like, if you grow up without a maternal role model, you will have a harder time to, you know, understand women and everything like that.
00:04:36.000So, the maternal instinct is really fucking beautiful.
