If a change is going to come, then it has to start with Self! It is always important as men to be careful to keep our emotions in check. We must always remember that our children, wives, girlfriends, etc. are gifts from the Most High {GOD}! They are put under our protection with the help and aid of the Most High {GOD}. We should always be humble in our position when dealing with our children and our wives. We should always be strong but understanding. We should always be caring and listen to those whom we love!
As black men we understand that respect is everything and that in the streets {world} the lack of respect can get you killed. But we must do a better job of respecting Self! As black men, we place value on views that are not only disrespectful to our families but also disrespectful to Self {being a pimp, player, street hustler [criminal], etc.}. These things were taught to us as young men, but they are morally wrong and they bring pain and destruction to our families!
We know that many times our children and women do not listen to us. But maybe somehow, someway, they see through us (the lies or contradiction in what we say, verses what we do)! In order to gain their respect and keet it, maybe we need to change our belief system of who we are and what we should be doing?
I think one way to help all of us as black men is to lead by example! If we bring about a change or new direction in ourselves this will directly impact our families in a positive manner! One way to help us get on track is by using a ancient system of balance!
This system has been used by African people since the beginning of time! Under slavery we lost alot of our culture and principles as a people, but now we are free from bondage so lets free our minds also! When we free our minds then we line our souls up with the Most High {GOD}. Then and only then will we be totally free!!!
The system of balance is better known as THE PRINCIPLES OF MAAT. Please study and embrace these principles in your heart! For more understanding and reinforcement, read the 42 negative confession (the precursor to the 10 commandments)!
Peace, Love and Unity
