Help! Our mirrors are absent!

Kingsley Okonkwo said men learn by observation. I found this to be true because almost all i have learnt in my journey as a man has been what i observed my father and other men do. Our lives as an adult is shaped by our childhood. The presence and absence of our fathers largely determines how we perceive life. You see, to my mind, God's original plan was that boys learn the ropes of manhood by simply watching their fathers. The fathers transfer the necessary tool kits to his son. The father provides him an avenue to identify himself and celebrate his uniqueness. The son learns how to act, behave, relate with nature, how to treat his wife and how to relate with himself and humanity by simply watching his father. The picture that comes to mind is being thrown into wildlife park with dangerous animals blindfolded. Only the experience of a guide can help us navigate the wildlife park coming out unscathed so is life, full of ups and down, Twist and turn, land mines, booby traps and wild beast only an experienced father can help us navigate this treacherous path. Only a true father can model exactly what a real man is.
