The First Anchor
Fear, Faith, and the Making of a Man
Lead—responsibility without constant reward is a challenge accepted at birth.
The pillars, tasked with breaking and rebuilding each curse of life with bare hands.
Blaming those meant for guidance only acknowledges the absence of those branded to be followed.
A proper shield wears marks of war with honor, for being protection was once satisfying enough.
Foundation set with sturdy hands can prosper generations unseen—
but only through fear is this possible.
A man is only human, and that’s obvious.
Yet within that truth lies beauty in his nature.
Fear makes a man complete, forcing him to overcome himself
so the possibility of freedom becomes real.
Yes—fear and weakness are necessary,
as both are solved and overcome only through God

Should We Not Try to Get Too Political?
Here's something you often hear people say, "I try not to get too political." I understand the sentiment and I sympathize with it... while at the same exact time, I completely disagree with the notion. Whether it's referring to social media or wherever, it's kind of unavoidable. You can attempt to sidestep it, not engage, leave the less important things for actual politicians to discuss... you can want it to not take over your life, your conversations, your relationships, and that makes perfect sense.

I really like how you frame fear not just as an obstacle but as something essential.
