Swayed by a pornographic moment, he saw from his "rooftop a woman bathing. This woman was one who "was very beautiful" from his point of view. And so the bait is set for all men. The desires of your flesh lead you into one of the great battles that all men face - the progression of sexual sin that works from the lust of the eyes , to the lust of the flesh , to the pride of life. And here you battle and fall every time.
Note this battle is not the fault of beauty. What happens to the undisciplined child? The kid who always got his way, who does he grow up to be? The alcohol and drug abuser in denial, your good friend with a deplorable diet, or the ones who have yet to grasp the concept of personal hygiene? Even within ourselves, there are internal battles that we may be going through — valid ones at that — which make us sensitive, irritable, self-destructive and sometimes just not pleasant to be around.
That means being able to have the utmost handle and responsibility of your emotions, actions, and self-care. Being a man is all about accepting complete responsibility for yourself. I could never be a babysitter, at least not for toddlers and adolescents. However, as I meander through life I tend to find grown toddlers all around me. The problem with children who always got their way growing up is that they never learn how to deny themselves. The father who was never around to teach their son about respect and to treat others, no matter how different, indirectly is raising a child who will treat people he does not understand horribly.
The family that does not enforce emotion management is letting a loose cannon out into the world, causing damage whenever they lose their grip. If we were to act on every human impulse, the world would be in shambles. Marriages would never work, politics would be far worse than what they are now, and no one would be able to live with one another.
There are people I encounter every day who I fundamentally disagree with that, because I have mastered myself, I deal with in a civil manner regardless. Subscribe to: Post Comments Atom.
