    When I was a kid my dad gave me a copy of the Lord of the Rings, and it took me until I was older to realize that Aragorn is basically the quintessential paragon of masculine virtue. If you’re ever wondering what a true man looks like, it’s basically that. Aragorn didn’t care about his riches or his power, or how many women he seduced. He cared about protecting the realms of those who could not protect themselves. He didn’t rush back to Gondor, but rather hung out near the Shire because the Shire had no defenses. He led men into battle when needed but was content to be alone if it meant fulfilling his mission in life. He was a skilled healer and healed wounds caused by the darkness of the Nazgûl because of his purity. Importantly when the elves felt the calling to leave Middle Earth because of the corruption and darkness of Mordor spreading into the land, Aragorns mortality and humanity allowed him to stay and face the darkness without being diminished by it.

    • @artemrevelsky
      @artemrevelsky Před 3 měsíci +13

      Aragorn is basically a superhero. Tall, strong, gifted with almost unlimited lifespan with a noble Numenorian heritage. Not that relatable to be honest. The Count of Monte Cristo is a lot better model for a common man in my opinion of course.

      I'm glad that you're experiencing awesome results with prayer. Most people on the planet believe in some sort of deity. But in reality prayer doesn't do anything but convince oneself of something. It provides hope when one feels helpless but ultimately does nothing to change the trajectory of their lives. However, calculated plans and action is the only thing that impacts change.

    Part of the reason I came to your channel in the first place. To make myself better so I can eventually find a partner and friends as my self esteem is pretty low at the moment.
    It's really horrible to not have a partner, friends and a family who are too busy with their own lives to truly make an effort to help you.

    The story about the dad and child in England, really seems to physically encapsulate the internal feeling felt, when men say they are alone.

    I really love this video, you made me cry. I have a 17 month, old son, and the idea of me passing away and having him pass away next to me just broke my heart, and I cried so hard I had to call a friend. I really early love this video, and I'm really glad I got a chance to watch It today. Keep up the good work.

  • @joseantoniodepilares6509

    My God Antonio. That story was just heartbreaking. It's something I myself fear happening if I leave my son alone with my dad. My dad isn't in the best of health and sometimes I fear something might happen to him while watching little Diego. Before I used to feel a failure for having to live back with my parents after 35 y.o. and a bad break-up. Now I feel thankfull that I am in a position to care for my parents in their old age. That you so much for sharing that, it hurt my soul and made me cry; but thank you.

    This is one of the best on the channel. Thank you for being so authentic with us and for having the courage to let it show.
    Men, we need each other. Iron sharpens iron after all. As a paramedic, I've had to deal with some monumentally hard and stressful times. Shifts where I drove home in tears due to the call I'd had to respond to. It's because I've taken the time to build up a network of family and friends that I was able to put my uniform back on and step back on the truck. Gents, we don't go through this life alone. Listen to Antonio! Look out for each other. Seek help if you need it. I've also had the privilege of being there for others through their struggles. It's well worth it to become the man that others will seek out in times of stress.

    Kudos for breaking free of the bad example set by your Father. Most men emulate the same traits as their father when it comes to parenting, or have no example due to growing up in a fatherless home. You looked at it, recognized your Father's lack of parenting as unacceptable, and made the conscience decision to parent much differently. Raising good, kind people with great values is the finest compliment I can give anyone.

    Antonio, this is probably the best video from you that I've seen. I appreciate you being vulnerable with/to us (your audience) one of my biggest fears is dying alone so I really appreciate you sharing that story. I had a stroke when I was 27 and behind it, I became severely depressed through exercise and general self-care and self-love I pulled out of the depression without therapy or medication. I get you when you said that you NEED to workout and exercise to regulate your emotional well-being. Great video!

  • @darrellclaunch1518
    @darrellclaunch1518 Před 3 měsíci +2

    Fantastic video! I empathize with the story about the man and child. When we had our girls I chose to be a work from home dad while my wife taught. I worked hard as a freelancer to get enough projects in to cover bills while watching the kids during the day. This led to an average of 4 hours of sleep per night for years, which in part led to high blood pressure (because it wasnt good sleep and energy drinks to help me stay awake) and all the time at the desk and carrying baby gear led to an eventual hospital stay and back surgery. During this period I was so worried about having a heart attack and dying, leaving our infant and toddler on their own in the house with my body that I had my wife text me during her lunch break daily to verify I was still alive. It was a terrifying time that I am happy I have made it through and found better health (and sleep) on the other side. Two weeks is absolutely heartbreaking. Thank you for not editing your emotions out!

    You hands down have one of the best channels for young men on CZcams! I really respect your willingness to share your experiences openly and honestly. I struggled a lot after my 10 years in the Corps. I felt like life kept knocking me down. I kept getting up though, kept grinding, kept my honor and integrity. Yesterday I just landed a massive life changing promotion at work. Know this brothers, your commitment will pay off over time. This would have never been possible if I wasn’t vulnerable enough to admit I needed help. Keep your eyes on the horizon and don’t chase the quick route feel good route. Semper Fi brother. Much respect and love!

    @CesarBenzoni Před 3 měsíci +1

    Thanks for taking the time to do this video. And that's why people watch your videos, in a moment in time with a huge lack of valuable content focused on men out there, you bring healthy food for thoughts.

  • @stephenschroeder6567
    @stephenschroeder6567 Před 3 měsíci

    I just found your channel yesterday so this is only the second video of yours I have viewed. Solid work on this. I subscribed after the first one.
    I'll be 65 in a few months and can echo many of the items you listed. I've been teaching college leadership and management courses for 25 years after 22 years of military service and one thing I stress to my students has been the concept of living an honorable life.
    I liked your story about going after the philosophy degree. I am doing something similar only with anthropology (three classes left). I am getting it to enrich myself and when paired with my other degrees gives me even more perspective - which is also making me a better teacher.
    And thank you for sharing that story of the man and his son. That is incredibly sad and reminded me of how I felt when I read about the actor/singer David Cassidy passing away in 2017 and what his daughter, actress Katie Cassidy, reported as his final words: "So much wasted time." To think that should be anyone's last thoughts had me crying for a good while.
    I look forward to watching your many videos past, present, and future. Fortis Mane!

    One of your final sentances revealing you havent quite fully found your purpose is probably one of the most impactful points ive heard. It makes it feel as if at 35 without a clue what my purpose is, perhaps im not that far behind as i think.
    I tend to get caught up in jealousy often when creators talk of finding your purpose as i struggle to know my own. Knowing even someone with the levels of success that youve attained is similarly struggling relieved so much anxiety and stress of not being good enough.

    What a lovely video. Thank you for your honesty. My father was a bit of a mess, he had a severe drinking problem and struggled all of his life to commit to something. He lived on the edges and when he died he simply disappeared…his legacy was almost nothing. What you say about commitment is so true. It’s the old adage…being there is everything. You may not have all the answers, but you are there and it means everything.

    Being a masculine man seems to be a bad thing in today's society.
    -Many women have told me that being a veteran is a deal breaker for dating.
    Being a responsible man from health to finances seems to be an unwanted trait, makes no sense at all.

      @iboofer Před 3 měsíci +2

      Sucks, but they're probably looking at rates of things like ptsd and deciding that they're not worth the trouble. I don't think that's a rejection of masculine men as much as it is a rejection of men who might have legitimate emotional scars after things like service, which is probably even more disgusting when you think about it. We don't do emotional labor for each other anymore. Everybody's got to be perfect and ready to go like an unblemished apple at the grocery store or you get discarded.
