A Good Man

He surpasses a man defending his family; a man at the battlefield, for his country; a man giving back to the society; a man preaching peace to the hate-weary..... He is a very ordinary man, with or without beard. We see him everyday across the streets, at the library table, under faint, neon glow, in emergency wards...... He's a man who believes in his heart's conviction, and follows his will to achieve his dreams, making everyone around him to believe they can achieve their dreams, just like him.
