Conclusion

I have written these blogs for the sake of our sons, the men of tomorrow, who have the right to be educated. It's the open discussion of a personal search. Nothing is definite yet.

The more our sons are behaving badly, the more they call for a realistic light, sign of fatherly love, that respects their male nature. In the western post-christian civilization this light will not be easy to accept. It might be extremely difficult to live by it - for educators as well as for the young men these have to educate. 

Seen in a contemplative light what today's world calls 'male antisocial misconduct' demands to be dealt with from the moment when life is only beginning. This is an emergency of our time - we have no more choice but to face up to the challenge. We should not let therapy maniacs or moralistic ideologues arrogate the right to form our sons. Our sons are our future, and it’s necessary that we teach them how to pass on the treasures we have received from our forefathers - at least if we want to be faithful to those who lived and died before us, who gave themselves up for our sake.
