What's The Best Thing A Man Could Do?

The first thing that popped when I read the question was "Rise his children to be good happy and healthy adult people." That is a very difficult thing to do but so admirable.

 

whatever gratifies without violating conscience.
but first make sure you have one.

consideration and logic aren't because someone said so.
the lack of them bites the actor on the ass as hard as the object.

and its the best thing an awarness can do.
has nothing to do with gender, species, or planet of origin.

popularity only counts in business and politics,
if you don't plan on making a career of either of them, forget about it,
just don't hurt each other and don't forget to clean up your mess.

 

The roman philosopher Cicero stated that the first duty of man is the seeking after and the investigation of truth.

I would say that the study of truth and its application in the practical plane as truthful living is probably the best thing a man could do.

 

Socrates said, "Wonder is the beginning of wisdom" and "Know thyself". Without a personal truth, discussing the truth is pointless and often counterproductive.

 

In a world of sleepers the best thing anyone can do is try to wake up.

 

Be a man of your word...always.

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

If, by Rudyard Kipling

 

in short, to be a logical (and creative and imaginative) sapient, instead of all the bullshit that is expected and demanded of (any) gender.

 

Lately i've been paying special attention to people I find extraordinary, in an attempt to be less misanthropic.

Generally, the people I find the most extraordinary are people who do something completely selfless to ease the burden of another living soul.

Artistic humans always catch my attention too, people who can create beauty from something others wouldn't even notice

-find a cure for cancer
-defeat war

 

To be the best man you can be for those who depend on you, in my case my daughter.

To be careful not to waste time around people who you think are friends but really aren't. (did this for a long time, instead of spending time with grandparents more. )

And once you discover who you are, whether you're 25 or 45, do only what you want to do, your way. Be led or fooled by no one.

 

honesty, logic and above all, consideration.
without regard to gender, ideology, belief, or any other excuse for hating any of those things.

hierarchy does not exist because it is inevitable. it isn't.
it exists because lack of consideration creates the reasons it exists.
inconsiderateness is a choice. it is something we do not have to.

claiming not to care, is biting one's own ass, and then wondering how it got bitten,
and of course the prize idiot, then looks to blame others for their doing so.

well there is something self and others are equally responsible for,
and that is the kind of culture we live in.

but really the short answer, is to be logical and considerate,
which go together, and you don't have honesty without.

 

-don't eat sugar
-don't be a greedy,selfish asshole

Done and done.well, I mean, you have to figure out how to talk the leaders of the world into not being a greedy selfish asshole, but that's the ticket

 

For me it is to cultivate the fruitage​ of the spirit to be mild,kind and humble

 

Only God's kingdom with defeat war.
