Wisdom: Water & Spirit Revisited

What is a beautiful man, to me? A beautiful man is he who cares about the right things in life. It is he who finds joy and solace in the small things, and is proud of every accomplishment and every failure because he knows that only from failure will he learn to be a better man. A beautiful man is not ashamed to have moments of weakness, and acknowledge them for what they are. He is beautiful because he is human and not afraid to admit to ignorance of many things for he knows, as a human being, he does not know it all for if he did there would be nothing left to learn, hence, nothing left to share. A beautiful man recognizes a broken heart, and that hearts will always break no matter how hard he tries to avoid it. He will break hearts, and respect and acknowledge the pain he causes others; as he will acknowledge and expect the same respect when his heart, in turn is also broken. A beautiful man hungers for knowledge of the unknown, and recognizes the meaning and representation of his own "humanity" and that of others. He is not tolerant, but understanding. He is not a puzzle that wants to be deciphered, he just is. And, because he "is"..., he is beautiful to me. What is a beautiful man to you?
