Response to Faking it

Faking it is one chapter of Manhood for Amateurs. This essay shows the thoughts and feelings of a son, father, and husband.

When Michael was young, he believed his father is always right. But once he saw his father made a mistake, Michael was anxious about whether he should point out this mistake. This mistake broke the perfect image of father. He finally pointed it out but it seemed embarrassed. He thought that’s a trick to fake

When Michael became a father, he made a promise to himself not to pretend to knowledge he does not process. He wanted to show his children the most realistic face but not the coolest face.

Michael enjoyed being a father of his own sense. But being a father and husband is not an easy task. Michael hid the fact that he can’t use electric drill. He even decided to drive through the snow storm but he didn’t know what he is doing in fact. Michael chose to not tell the truth because he felt the trust from his wife and kids. At that moment, Michael was a husband and father. He has responsibility to prevent family’s worries.  

Bravery is not absence of fear, but sum up with courage and responsibility. Men are not always brave, but they could be strong once they have a target. So that’s ok for men to show fear sometimes but not fake it.
