THE PRELUDE: Why Modern Men Feel Lost, Stuck, and Broken
THE PRELUDE WHY MODERN MEN FEEL LOST, STUCK, AND BROKEN THE FEELING MEN CANNOT EXPLAIN Some men can point to the exact moment their life fell apart. Most cannot. They only know the feeling. They wake up with weight on their chest that cannot be fully named or explained. Most men weren’t taught manhood. They were dropped into it. You scroll, you shower, you go to work, you come home, you collapse, and somewhere between those motions a quiet thought hits you in the stomach. “I should be further ahead by now.”“I should be more disciplined, more focused, more in control.” From the outside, you might look functional. You pay some bills, you keep some promises, you are not in jail. On the inside, you feel like you are holding your life together with tape, glue, and willpower. People tell you that you are lazy, unfocused, undisciplined, soft. They tell you to grind harder, care more, work more, want it more. Very few ever ask the real question.

Boys grow older. Men are forged. THE TRUTH WE ARE BORN MALE — WE ARE NOT BORN MEN Before a boy learns words, he learns leverage. A baby’s cry isn’t always hunger or pain. Sometimes, it’s his raw instinct. Biology and chemicals load the impulses. Masculinity teaches him how to have mastery over them. Most males never receive that training. Time adds years.

Time does not build a man. Biology does not build discipline. Legal adulthood does not build leadership. Manhood is not a birthday. Manhood is forged. You can be 18,
