Well so If you couldent tell from my last post I tend to jump around alot with my thoughts. This has always been typical for me. Sometimes I even confuse myself. But alteast I keep myself entertained. So I would have to say looking back at my life, it has been quite a ride. Ha! as in my last post I am listening to Pandora, Mazzy Star's 'Fade into you" is on.. So anyway like i said it had been quite a full life even at only 35.... I have made many friends and aquaintences, found and lost God, Loved and been loved, Hated and Loved my life...expiremented with many things some good some bad, been a Marine, a Father, son, brother, yet through it all i think i have not really changed much, only grown..... So I have been thinking about what makes a Man... not just the fact that he has a falic instrument...or a deep voice, but the essence of men...Some may say it is their ability to take charge. lead, or organize... but i know many men who lack some or all of those qualities... So i ask again... What makes a man? But then again does it even matter? As long as you try to live up to your abilities, not your desires or faults.. Hell some days I feel like I could stay in bed all day.. but then I wouldnt be acomplishing my potential. As Confucius said:" In the practice of archery we have something resembling the pricipal in man's moral life. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns around and seeks for the cause of failure within himself." Well i suppose that is enough thinking for a while........ Till later - E
You asked for it!
Well you did!

I like the post.
ReplyDeleteFor me, what makes the essence of a man is; doing right when you can, protecting those who need it, and standing up for what is right, even when it isn't popular.
(and holding your liquor, knowing when to take a punch, and when to throw one.)
