Being a Manly Man: The Importance of Moral Strength

The concept of what it means to be a manly man has been debated for centuries. For some, physical strength and prowess may be the defining characteristics, while for others it is more about moral fortitude and the ability to protect and provide for loved ones.

One thing is certain, being a manly man is not about being without fear, but about overcoming fear through facing and overcoming difficulty and hardship. It is about having a sense of purpose and direction, and being driven by a higher cause or belief.

One of the great thinkers on this subject was the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius, who in his book Meditations, wrote about the importance of being in tune with the natural rhythms of the world and living in accordance with one's own moral code. He believed that it was through this alignment with the natural order that a man could reach his full potential and find true joy and fulfillment in life.

In modern times, the concept of a manly man has evolved to include a broader range of characteristics and qualities. A true manly man is a warrior in the sense that he is willing to place himself between what he holds dear and anything that threatens it. He is a protector of the flock, willing to risk his own life for the safety and well-being of those he cares about. He is driven by honor and the desire to do what is right, even in the face of adversity.
