I think we have a whole generation of men who are clueless when it comes to what their goals are and what it means to live a life of discipline. Even in law school, among the “best-educated folks around” (so we’re told), I meet far too many men who have no direction. Their only goal is getting to the Saturday afternoon tailgate. And for what?

There was a good article about this kind of thing a little over a year ago (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122186403983658605.html). Here’s a quote: “No longer has male hedonism to do with learning how to be well-dressed or cultivate a taste for wine, women, and song. It is about immediate satisfaction of the appetite and pleasures of the youth.”

Men today do not direct their efforts and attention to the more meaningful things in life–family, work, etc.–and instead are content playing video games and drinking cheap beer. It’s quite tragic. Especially the part about the cheap beer.
