The King, the man but not yet the saint.

Life as a man is great and God-given, so we need to be greater than our name. To live out our lives as gentle, but tough men.

After a little prodding, okay a major push from one of my zealous readers. I owe her one. Now to my topic today! I consider myself a total man and I am proud of it, I strive to work hard and respect the people whom I interact with every day. I sometimes vouch for male rights or men's issues without going into the militant style of making the world aware that we also have ideals or challenges as men. It is surprising that I could not find a word that describes my motivation. On-existing words such as Malist I thought because feminist is the opposite, eventually I settled with a respectable word as a male- activist. The rarity of a cool word to describe my post today raises the neglect of any attention, to male issues of concern.

The man, life as a budding male ready to take on the world which is a mean concrete jungle unforgiving and hostile, especially to a man. There are qualities inherent in us men that, we need to have to prosper and carve a niche in our own space in the world. Nothing big like total world domination but just to mark your territory. Hard work and a sense of responsibility are important tools to achieve.

The King: We all dream to be kings one day, so why not start now not literally by starting to trace your ancestry to the nearest monarch family? I philosophically mean to cultivate virtues that place you as a king somewhere in your home. Kings certainly command a lot of admiration and respect, among their followers. Why not you as a man strive to be a king in your place to be a sign of unity and protection in your family? To be a king demands a lot do not fear, establish relationships, form alliances (friendships), and secure business partnerships. Just like good old kings we read about in stories. The easy part is that there are no dragons to slay or actual bloody wars to fight in your kingdom. The king takes care of his queen so be faithful and mature. Just play the part of a king with class, the Game of Thrones way.

Not yet the saint: In our own awesome life as men if you sit down and think about it, broadly speaking we are destined as humans for greater things once our life here on earth is done. Therefore there is always hope for something worthwhile after death. That great expectation is heaven and heaven is for saints. We all have our own weaknesses as men; our journey to sainthood is a really tough road . Here we do not need physical strength but humility as man, to gain. We need to have a sense of morality in us that governs our thoughts and actions. To will to be good is a step towards the road to sainthood. Being a man take your family along with you along this road as the head of the family. Saints are people who did ordinary things in an extraordinary way.

In conclusion, life as a man is great and God-given, so we need to be greater than our name. To live out our lives as gentle, but tough men. To enrich our general knowledge, to play like children, and strive to live like a king.
