I look at a man as a symbol of inspiration.
Someone who looks to be of service along his journey.
Someone who experiences fears but has the courage to face them and
move forward anyway. Someone who’s loving to all people and
creatures in world, including himself.
Someone who can take care of his basic needs and teach others how
to live in abundance. Someone who doesn’t judge people but looks
for ways to lift others up.
Someone who leaves this place better than the way he found it.
That, to me, is a man.
