Treat a boy like a man, he will step up. Treat a man like a boy, he will step down.

Peterson gets emotional, I get emotional. So goes my night.

>pick up the heaviest thing you can, and carry it..

Just like at the gym.

Ive seen 18 year olds in a 3rd world country be responsible for the entire harvest of corn, watermelons etc... which is their families only source of income, and its truly amazing to see their happiness and enthusiasm, even tho they have very little and have a huge responsability on their backs, they are always thanking God, they are very united with their families, and they all have very high moral standards. Its truly amazing. On the other hand 18 y/olds in the city with a bit more economic capacity and education opportunities are very shallow, they either speak to say something with anger or perversion, they lack respect for their family, they fall into some sub culture, etc etc they become narcisistic, they go around sleeping with people and they do drugs... Responsability is one of God's great blessings.

A truly wonderful man humbled at the positive consequences of his hard work and determination to help others become more than they are.

Shame on YouTube for treating Dr. Peterson the way they have

"You're cursed so much now with this notion that your active engagement with the world is part of what is destroying and undermining the planet and adding to the tyranny of the social systems... How about a bit less of that aye."

Man... He really nailed something there.

Responsibility is freedom. Something I truly want for myself, the independence and self support i need so that I may one day be responsible for my future wife and children.

The key to a good family is to understand when your prepared for the responsibility of one. If you aren't ready you won't be able to bare the responsibility of the situation. Something I learned when my father left me and my sister. And since then I've vowed never to do the same. I will be ready and prepared but first i must be responsible for myself.

I wish I had had the opportunity to listen to his talks while I was much younger than I am now. Never too late I guess :)

What a great beautiful way to make young men feel *possibility* for the better aside from all the BS out there. My heart glows a better beat with these words.

"How about not so much of that, eh?" Out of all the intellectually stimulating things I've heard from JP, who would have thoughts such a simple line would have cut so deep? You can tell he's completely dedicated.

"Pick up your responsibility"  where I come from we call this "pick up your cross"

[destroyerinazuma]

"You're cursed so much since you are young with the notion that your active engagement with the world is part of what is destroying and undermining the planet and adding to the tyranny of the social systems" Yep, was guilty of inflicting this on myself

[paulgodson]

Idk why i feel so emotional about him, he is a father figure to me. As a weak man i feel he gave me courage to pick myself and make me better everyday. 🙏🏾Thank you father.

[BlackMita]

The high fives, nods of approval, and cash rewards also make responsibility desirable.

[carlotapuig]

Responsibility is now the new hedonism. Thank you Jordan

One way of thinking of it is:

Freedom/Rights=Chaos Responsibility=Extracted order
Men=Logos

[geneanthony]

Responsibility is a word some people respond to but I think it's really a sense of purpose and to feel needed. Men have no intrinsic value to society by default and a lot of men need to feel they have value.
