As an adult masculine figure (let’s not debate labels) in the lives of the people around you, part of your role is to...
a) Modulate your emotional outbursts and volatility in favor of calm, steady contributions to the general well-being (note that this is different from suppressing your feelings)
b) By virtue of the first point, and many other things, to make the people around you (particularly dependents) feel physically and financially safe and secure (and actually help make them safe and secure)
I don’t have a lot of tolerance for people who violate these sacred things with their family and friends.
I’ll be forever grateful for my father Richard’s example in this.
