The future male,

The lifespan of man as we know him is but a speck in the vastness of time. And “ modern Man” is still very much connected to his 42, 000 year old counterpart.

 Throughout our history, the male of the human species, has for the most part carried himself with an aggressive “ me first “ survival of the fittest type of mentality, often using intimidation, and brute force as his main tools, in order carry out his will.

Mother earth can easily provide more than enough resources for all people, but still the powers that be (mostly male) scheme, horde, and control, all to secure his supremacy.

But the modern male is far from lost in this world, like his female other half; Human males do have a softer more caring, loving side, and it is this aspect of masculinity that will be his salvation. Man will fight to the death to protect that which he loves, so it is this love that is in desperate need of nurturing.
