Odd Beginnings: Structural Loss of Fatherhood - E-book - ePub

Odd Beginnings: Structural Loss of Fatherhood analyses the social ills crippling our nation's growth due to ignorance and void-driven behaviours. Its premise revolves around the deprivation triggered by our widespread fatherlessness and unpacks the problematic relationships formed where men prioritise their short-term lust over their children's long-term maintenance. As the main driver behind minimising fatherhood and generating a loss of structure, Odd Beginnings closely examines the male sexual energy.
Too often single mothers relegate fatherhood to a minimal level when their sexually motivated relationships produce an unplanned child. Unmitigated sexual energies can cause void-driven behaviours that wreak havoc and anarchy to a fatherless society. Void-driven behaviours allow dependence and vices to take their toll on individuals if not channelled properly. Calt Shabalala both describes and criticises people's collective ignorance about the relationship between fathers and their children.
He explicates the importance of a father's direct involvement in his children's lives by highlighting the negative consequences of children growing up fatherless or with a minimal contribution. This book is an on-time reminder about fathers' failures that give rise to deprivation, dependence and various vices as they affect innocent children. Building a functional nation requires families that rely on the knowledge bearers (fathers) and not the government for solutions to their behavioural problems.
With poor fatherhood, our nation is doomed to anarchy.
