The Big Fight
Our culture has no rites of passage to manhood and so we invent them. Young men do very dangerous things and I was no different. I fought in a Tough Man amateur boxing contest, twice. At one of the fights, my friends later told me a man had been killed. I realized fighting had not made me a man and I hung up my gloves.
