Here lies A little explanation of Men Naked in the Woods. Robert Bly, the poet and activist, inspired me to dig deep into what it means to be a man in the twenty-first century. Men have become weak due to lack of mature role models in our society. We are in an age where the man have become "half adults." A society created by "half-adults" is problematic because it "lacks leadership, daring initiative, creativity, and deep care about others."* I am not a professional psychologist. All I can offer is my personal experience with growing up. I hope to utilize myths as well as the bible to dig deeper and grow more into my adult role.

Haste often leads to unwanted results like a concussion or a band aid on the head. Diligence is due and of a proper time, not a time where you are so pumped up you cause mistakes.
