There are many places in life where taking a stand, or standing up, comes into play and needs to be thought about.
On the serious side, we need to stand up and be counted on the attacks on the republic and the destruction of our liberty. We need to learn to say “No” and mean it. That may be the only way to avoid the path of violence. It can be as simple as being honest in a conversation at the grocery store. It might involve a speech at city council. Stand up.
Culturally our manhood is under attack by the emasculators who want to make men sit down to do number one. Somehow the urinal has become one of the symbols of toxic masculinity.
What brought this to mind was the tangent my mind went on when I was getting dressed. It is getting harder and harder to stand up while I put my pants on. The first leg goes in just fine but when it comes to the second all bets are off. I make sure there is a wall nearby. So far I am getting along but I will know I have crossed another creek when I have to sit down to put my pants on.
I guess that is better than the stage where someone will have to change my diaper, but lets not get ahead of ourselves.
