Man's Compass with Dr Simon Fokt
Helping men find their direction, values
and purpose in the modern world
Vincent van Gogh once said that ‘Conscience is a Man’s Compass.’
Perhaps 150 years ago that was enough.
The world has changed. Conscience is not enough and the maps handed down to us are no longer accurate. Old roles have lost value and we haven’t been taught new ones.
People are quick to criticise us and tell us how not to be, but when we ask how to be, they are silent.
We have lost our direction, our values, our purpose.
Finding our place in the changing world is no easy quest.
We need a compass to guide us through the lands unknown, to show us direction amongst confusing paths, and to turn us back when we’re lost.
A Man’s Compass.
The world might seem like Chaos.
Don’t fear the Chaos.
Surf it.
