Quote of the Week
“What the society needs is not strong men, it's good men. And good men are not cruel on purpose. (These days) we are elevating a version of manhood that is completely inverted…”
-Jonah Goldberg, ex Fox anchor
A Good Man
In this speech Goldberg got me thinking about what makes a good man. We are all flawed to some degree, so putting someone on a pedestal here doesn’t really help. But here are some of the qualities I believe good people (men and women) possess. Note that this is a personal list, and I will soon ask you to consider your own:
- Honest
- Loving, caring, kind, and thoughtful. Willing to do the work needed to balance their own needs and desires with those of others around them, including their partner
- Accepts responsibility when it is theirs and takes action to try to address issues
- Interested in engaging, or at least willing to engage when asked
- Has a sense of purpose
- Reaches out to connect with others and make a positive difference in the world
Now it’s your turn. How would you describe a good person?
