do not allow circumstance to dictate my existence, I shape my path on this earth. That's that. I should also say, as a descendant of the first man to light a fire, I exist today because man before me had the audacity to rub rocks together making the first fire. The first warmth. The first weapon against nature. That man, my hero, had the audacity to take risk. Men before my descendant who did not take risks, died off, overpowered by forces of nature. So, manliness to me, is confidence in the face of reasonable risk!
