What is it that makes a man great,
is it his tenacity and perseverance,
a powerful and strong image,
could it be mental stamina and fortitude,
or that he is successful in all that he endeavors?
No my dear friends it is none of those things,
rather it is the things that we don't readily see,
a loving attitude towards all he comes into contact with,
patience beyond our understanding no matter the circumstance,
exceeding all expectations and desires,
kind to a fault no matter how deserving the recipient may be,
and being ever benevolent to those he sees in need,
are the marks of a truly great man.
