Happy Fathers Day

Happy Fathers Day! Giving the title of today I thought I'd write something along those lines.

I've heard that anyone can be a father; but it takes effort to be a dad.
Not a bad way to think, but it's deeper then that. A real father fosters his ideals in his children. Children are born innocent; something the world will soon take from them. Some fathers try to hold onto the innocence forever. A real father instilled in his children morality, courage, faith and things that will protect them from the horrors of the world. Without a father to show us the beauty of the world it would be easy to grow pragmatic or pessimistic. I never had such a father, my father only taught me how ugly the world was and how much it could hurt you.

I only learned from my father how to destroy and abuse. I'll teach my children someday that the world is a beautiful place AND teach them to deal with the darker side of it. There is no reason to be a slave to one ideology over another. I don't just want to have children of my own, but I want to teach children the world over with my words and ideas. The world is evil because we don't have enough good fathers. Where a hundred fall short... One man with courage and ideals can succeed. To be such a man you need a great teacher, if your not a father yet I urge you to be a teacher first.
