Preshit...You are a real man

Yeah yeah, I know am never done with my self praise. So I was feeling a lil off a few days ago and I happened to read my own blog posts saved in draft. I kept smiling through the entire process of reading my own words. How life has changed so much in a matter of months. I was lost a year ago about career choices and now all is stable. That's how I thought about writing a lil today, to be a lil expressive. Not many friends to share you know.

So a few random times I have this thought. What is the mark of a real man? I've had more than a couple females who I have been close to, not all confessed about their love but there was one thing in common. They all said, "You know you are different. Not like other guys. You are a real man." On counter questioning that statement I never really got a proper answer. The more recent one explained it from her perspective and I didn't understand much. Well... To see darkness you need to see the light first. Contrast is necessary for an absolute experience.  A certain "brother like friend" was sent to me. I always was there for him and thought he was just such an innocent child. Poor guy, he is so lost and always drowning within his low self esteem. Until one day! We both were in the same situation. And looking at how he responded in a typical way how an insecure person woul...blah blah blah...basically he back stabbed me. I saw a contrast between his and my actions. Both were hiding something, but I revealed it to save someone which guaranteed me future misery and he revealed it to drown me. Aahh what men have you created father?

So whats the mark of a man? A true man? Money? People can be born rich. Strength? Not cool when I use my strength to kill someone. Intellect? Not cool when I use that to manipulate people. Then what is? A mark of a true man is his morals. He will never shy away from the truth and what is right. If he knows what is right he will never ignore it. As Kakashi Hatake said " To know what is right and choosing to ignore it is a mark of a coward." A real man defends and protects people around him at the cost of his own being. Maybe thats why she said so. I've always kept my significant one's ahead of myself. It has put me through alot of pain but hey I can live with myself when am lonely. I can look me in the mirror and say I'm a good person. Few mistakes I've made but never ignored the truth. I guess thats why she said...Preshit...you are a real man.
