Steve, has Erin read this blog post?
OK,
I can't tell sometimes if your writing from a serious point of view or your just messing around half the time. Some of it provides a good way to think about where you are what you can get out of life.
But most of the post gave off a very selfish and egocentric vibe, in my opinion. If you put yourself ahead of your spouse and (especially your) kids, doesn't that makes you a bad father / husband? I'd be scared to have you as a Dad. How does sacrificing for your family and putting them first make you any less of a man?
Although you were right about this post sparking emotions and causing you to think critically, so nice job (as usual) in that regard.
BTW, my opinion is that if someone has to TELL you how to be a "man", then you won't achieve that "man-status". It's a paradox, and you're not really thinking for yourself.
