"You, you along the road, must have a Code, that you can live by ...." Such is the first line from "TEACH YOUR CHILDREN", the second 'cut' off "Deja Vu" -- the 1970 release of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young {Percussion > Dallas Taylor : Bass > Greg Reeves : Steel Guitar > Jerry Garcia .} The Song itself is 'gentle prodding', an admonition almost, that speaks to prevent Moral Chaos in the Drug and Free-Sex Sub-Culture of Hippie-dom . Within the Lyrics is advise to counsel one's parents as well .
This point is as good as ANY 'point' to begin a Discussion of Manhood, its Attainment and Maintenance . We can figure that the Hippies REJECTED the 10 Commandments, bc if THEY were Viable what need is there for a Code to supplant them ?
You start asking Questions and you find you MUST ask, 'Why do we need a Code to begin with ?' Above is my first answer . There are times when you just can't figure-out what is required for various circumstances and especially those that DEMAND an INTELLIGENT Response . Sometimes the Answer does NOT 'arrive' from our 'reservoir' of experiences --- so where, and to what,, do we turn ?
