Biblical ( תַּנַ״ךְ ) depiction of the flight from Sodom and Gomorrah The Worries of a Young Man | Saturday – November 6, 2026 T oday I have received a fan letter, for the first time actually which was unexpected I suppose, and this letter was written by a rather young man, a young man carrying the burden of knowledge , a heavy burden, but at least I can say that this young man is far ahead of his peers.     Now, I realize that the situation that many young men are facing, especially in the Western World , is rather hard, rather difficult, but my purpose is not to lie, my purpose is not to tell pretty fairy tales; my purpose is to continue my mission, read " Dreaming ", which is why I will remain unashamed and why I will continue to report on the state of things with no hesitation. To be a young man today is truly a catastrophe, read " The Problem of Raising Boys ", which is why I have called on people to reconsider even putting boys into the world, but more on this...

A page of The Travels of Marco Polo Traveling the World | Wednesday – November 4, 2026 T raveling the world is quite the challenge and achievement if done well, and any man who has endeavoured to see the world for himself is also a man capable and able to admit to himself that he might not always measure up to his own ideals, read " My Views on the Call to Adventure ". This man is strong, read " My Views on Strength ", not because he is dense and unyielding, he is strong because he knows his boundaries and he knows where he lacks, and thus he is quite capable of seeking out betterment, not for his personal and selfish reasons , but precisely because he is a traveler, someone who is familiar with the condition of life , and not ultimately in the end, but always. This is the distinction that a travelled man will earn, a distinction and an honour greater than any formal education, greater than any price or any medals. Note though, that traveling the world is difficult...
