If You Are a Young Man and You're Not Being Admired by an Older Man, You're Being Hurt





“ It's not time to make a change
Just relax, take it easy
You're still young, that's your fault
There's so much you have to know

Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.”

— Father and Son.

Christopher Reeve Talks About Marlon Brando






“ And it’s so strange, that men need blessing from older men. 

Robert Moore, I heard him say in a tape, 
“If you’re a young man, and you’re not being admired by an older man, you’re being hurt.” 
I like that a great deal.

So that many women bless young men, but the man still needs a blessing from an older man. 

You know, I heard Robert Moore say it to a group of men: 

“How many of you have admired a younger man in the last two weeks, and told him so?” 

Silence. 

“How many of you were admired by older men when you were young?” 

Silence. Then he said that sentence, 

“If you are a young man and you’re not being admired by an older man, you’re being hurt.”

— Robert Bly
