A Man

A Man Gender has classified me, but I am yet to be defined. Does claiming for my manhood makes me a man enough or is it just another hypothetical reasoning to get me settle for the comfort of doing what is easy? Please enlighten me, what does being a man entails? Daddy lessons taught me that a man gat to be wise, objective, responsible, reliable, adaptive, so goes the list. He cares for the wellbeing of his beloved ones more than his own. He secures his own insecurities to protect the inspirations of those who look up to him for they hold positive hope of believing. From life lessons I’ve learned that language is the meaning, communication is understanding, and real man understands. Understand that in the uncertainties of nature we learn from the corrections of our misdoing. There’s strength in admitting our incapability and accepting mistakes enables learning. I think real men have histories, history of lessons. Lessons that mold their inner-self into an admirable man. A man with a reputation that precedes, and monetary welfare is simply an enabler of man’s character in the modern world. My wish today is simple, when I grow up I wanna be a man.
