Schalk's Little Book for Brothers

<p>For many of us the concept of brotherhood was entrenched (pun intended) in the literal and proverbial trenches.<br><br>Whether on the streets in the military or other teams or through the navigation of large societal chaos or deep personal adversity a relationship was tested by fire and found to be gold: men or women were brought together almost as if destined or divinely appointed to face life death and all the tragic adversity in between together.<br><br>However the word is complex: for some it means I've killed for you or I've almost been killed for you and I'll do it again; for others it stands almost next to nothing an empty term meaning no more than: 'Hey you.'<br><br>This Little Book is an attempt to concisely unpack and highlight the principles that underlie true brotherhood. If it's successful it might help some of us understand the word in a more healthy and balanced manner and it might help some others at the very least to be more careful when they use the word but hopefully to know that when they do use it that it should actually mean something.<br><br>The Schalk's Little Book Series is a collection of concise treatments on certain themes and topics. Each Little Book is just under 10 000 words in length and purposefully designed to be easily digested and referenced.</p>
