Virtus #097: Watching the plant grow. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The first instance is, of course, the decision to plant the seed. It takes a lot of guts. It takes a lot of courage. Why? Because, especially as a man, you take part in Creation. Which is weird. Which is unmet. To be responsible for creating... a version of Life. Women grow with this potentiality, as future moms. Men don’t. But we soon realize that we can create... things, mostly, comfort eventually, life... ultimately. And not as the second-hand parent. Not as the sperm donor. As a Creator. Yes
Virtus #096: What I Lost by Always Starting Over (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For twenty years, I lived in a rush, sure that all the excitement and hard work meant I was headed somewhere, even though I kept winding up back where I started.When I was in my twenties, what I wanted was money I could rely on, other people’s respect, and evidence that I could amount to something. I still recognize those wants. Yet I gave them a deadline, and whenever things moved more slowly than I expected, I decided I must have picked the wrong road.So I tried a different road. And then anot
Virtus #095: My Son Will Have a Sentence About Me (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I asked my son what life purpose means while we were driving to school, in those ten minutes we get in the car when we talk without any distractions.“To be your true self,” he said.I recognised it because I’d told him the same thing a few months earlier. It sounded fake coming out of a twelve-year-old, which was my fault, since I’d given him words he could repeat without much sense of what to do with them. So I felt.“Sure, in general. But what’s YOUR purpose, today, at your age? Don’t bullshit y
Virtus #094: There Is No Done Until You Say So (opens the original)
Read excerpt
---We behave as though a secret due date has been attached to becoming the people we are meant to be. It has not. Even more strangely, or perhaps more fortunately, no one ever gave us a working definition of fullfilment. We are expected to figure out what a Life Achievement means while we are in the middle of pursuing it. Two unknowns, one timetable, and somehow we still expect the answers to arrive as from nowhere (or maybe from Divinity?).For many of us, a moment comes when we start acting lik
Virtus #093: The 40 y.o. System Crash (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I don’t believe in the 40-year men’s crisis. I am not denying that something huge happens around that age with men. Maybe women do too, to be honest, but I am focusing on men here. I still believe men and women are different; mind you, the book is Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus - different planets. Maybe men in their forties just hit their version of a psychological rock bottom, where they can no longer lie to themselves. From what I’m observing, this age is just a virtual milestone. I
