It hit me over the head when a friend of mine casually said, "you're a good man." I smiled and moved on, but inside I was bursting with pride. That conversation was months ago and I still feel good when I think about it. The beautiful thing about the phrase is it's a general endorsement of your entire character. In it's purest sense it's probably impossible to be truly good, I've got more than my share of embarrassing faults, but in a lesser sense of displaying integrity and generosity it's certainly something to strive for.
This song, "A Good Man" from Emerson Drive is going to be my theme song for the day tomorrow:
These are my favourite lyrics in the song:
Yeah, me too.My dreams aren’t that complicated…
I wanna be the one When all is said and done
Who lived a good life, loved a good wife, and always helped someone in trouble
On the day they lay me down I want everyone to gather ‘round
And say he was a father, brother, neighbour and a friend
He was a good man!

That's a powerful message.
Thanks for sharing.
Pride is a sin, therefore you aren't a good man. Try harder.
