Build or Destroy: The Essence of Masculinity
Masculinity presents two fundamental choices: to build or to destroy. This perspective is reflected in behaviors observed in boys, who tend to focus on the creation or demolition of structures, contrasting with nurturing tendencies seen in girls. While destruction can be necessary in the face of evil, a healthy masculinity must incorporate a vision for what to build, or else it risks becoming a purely destructive presence in the world. Engaging with deep philosophical concepts, such as those presented by Jordan Peterson, enriches understanding of these dynamics and encourages a more meaningful approach to masculinity.
