WHY “Rise of the Ronin”?
The Ronin initiatives found on this site are very personal for me. There are many things I could choose to be investing my time and energy in, and I choose this because I feel so strongly about the bullshit that many young men are expected to accept and compromises they are expected to make.
For me, it reminds me of my early circumstances as a teenager and young man, and those of my younger brothers. I don’t care if this site or the related books “take off” and become some big thing. What drives me is the feeling of being able to even reach ONE young man, and inspire him to break free from the bullshit, fully reclaim his natural authority and honor himself and his one life. That’s enough for me to continue.
Some things a man cannot go to his grave without doing. For me, the Ronin project is one of those things.
