137 Ways Your Home Can Make You a Better Man
We don’t live for our homes. Our homes help us live.
From the editors of Men’s Health Living
Homes today have little in common with the castles of yore. There are
the obvious differences: Few homeowners can afford a moat these days,
let alone insurance for boiling tar. But there’s a deeper philosophical
disconnect, too.
Back in the day, castles were meant to keep the world out—to isolate the king and his servants, artisans, minstrels, and soldiers behind parapets made of stone. Do you have servants? Neither do we. So today, we’ve thrown open our gates, welcoming the world in via the front porch, FedEx, or fiber-optic cable to do whatever we can to master every last square inch of our domain. Our walls are porous; our broad horizons make us better men than most kings ever were. We’re explorers, not tyrants, and our homes are living maps of our passions and experiences, our talents and hobbies. We don’t live for our homes. Our homes help us live.
