Unconditional interest in the development of our boys
Most people still assume that the important thing is to achieve a certain desired state: a degree, job or other qualification, a new car, a great vacation, the perfect partner, wonderful children, perfect schools, retirement provision, health, etc. They then focus all their attention on these things, just as people in Babylon focused on the golden calf. They then focus all their attention on these things, just like the people in Babylon focused on the golden calf. But life is not geared towards the achievement of states, but towards the unfolding of the possibilities inherent in all forms of life and their interaction. Thinking, feeling and acting should therefore be oriented towards the ever new possibilities for further development, towards broadening horizons, if it wants to remain alive. We humans should therefore have an unconditional interest in the development of the other. That is precisely the definition of love. So: How does one become a man and not what is a man? And: Who has an unconditional interest in the development of a boy into a man?
