What makes a man?

What makes a man?

Is it the value he puts upon himself his deeds or his word, or is it the value others attached to his persona?

Is a man a thing when he does nothing, or must he accomplish something of value so others can make the judgment of his worth?

Must a man be something useful, or helpful or responsible to the needs of others to be called a man, or is just being on earth suffice?

Is a man, who takes what he wants, gives what he wants, a gracious man, or is a man who gives from his own worth readily a man to be reckoned with?

Men have come and gone, can we count on one hand the ones that measured up or do we call them all men because they lacked a way to be measured by default?

Are all men equal, do they possess nothing of unequal value or use, are they all the same?

Does the man who recognizes folly and avoids it better equipped to lead other men, or is folly and surviving it the road to wisdom?

What does make a man….a man, the giving or the taking?
