The Essence of being a MAN

I’ve been asked by my friends and ka-berks: for me what is the essence of being a man? I just remember just in Miss Universe 1994 when Sushmita Sen of India asked the similar question (essence of being a woman). Let’s think what is the purpose of MEN in the world.
For me, being a man is not just like you are handsome, macho, playboy, or whatever. For me, they are REAL MEN if:

1. THEY ARE GOOD HUSBAND TO THEIR WIFE. very simple, the real man is not based for being a womanizer. They are faithful in their one and only wife. He doesn’t abuse his strength and he respects his wife as his long-time companion. The real man is a gentleman.

2. THEY ARE GOOD FATHERS TO THEIR CHILDREN. A real MAN is good, not only to his wife, but to his children. He must be responsible, hardworking, patient, loving and understanding to his children.

3. THEY ARE JUST, FAIR, BRAVE AND HUMBLE. a real MAN is just because he only believes in truth. He treat others equal and not abusing his authority and strength. He has his own principles in life. He is fair in fighting. He doesn’t make foolishness, stupidity and other bad things to others. A man is also brave, not on fighting others, BUT HE IS BRAVE IN FACING HIS LIFE AND THE REALITY OF THE WORLD. He likes facing challenges and he doesn’t give up easily. And of course, he must be humble and obedient to others.

4. THEY ARE MODELS OF THE SOCIETY. a real man must be a good role model. He doesn’t abuse his privilege as a man like being a drunkard, drug addict, etc. They do not commit crimes.

5. THEY ARE GOOD SERVANTS OF GOD. A real man must be a good servant of God. I didn’t say a man must be saint, but he must have fear with God. He must do good things with his entire life, devoted his life to God, and offer his success as a man to God.

THESE ARE THE FIVE ESSENCE OF BEING A REAL MAN.
