The ideal man is a Light & Beacon of the TRUTH. He does not Troll or Force unnecessary truths upon others. The ideal man lives a life worthy of being Admired and Mimicked. He Attracts those who Seek to be Good & Live out the Truth, rather than forcing it upon them.

@jordanbpeterson And if you want to go down that rabbit hole, read "Athens and Jerusalem" by Shestov. -

The truth matters and I think this is where the no trolling and forceful enlightened part comes into play. My truth looks much different than another man's truth. Does that mean he is wrong? Perhaps. Perhaps not. I believe the ideal man should live a life of leading by example.

Attacking another's truth is not at attack on one line of thought or idea, it is an attack on every thought or action that has been built upon that foundation. To force your truth upon others is to shatter their entire world, leaving a gutted and empty corpse.

Instead the ideal man should show others there is another way through his actions. He should seek to attract others, rather than forcefully gutting them. He should view himself as a beacon and a guide, rather than a hunter and an aggressor.

I don't really like how I worded that last part. The idea I'm trying to portray is a man should not look to burn the world. There is a reason damnation preachers are often hated. You do not lead people to the truth through violence.

There is a bit of creative destruction. But I think I get what you are saying. You don’t like the tearing things down and not putting anything better in its place.
-
That's a better way of wording it. The evil trickster looks for total destruction, but leaves nothing in its place.

Thanks Tell. Don’t forget about humility. I’m far from ideal and I think everyone else on this list would agree they are not ideal either...

Your authentic humility is why we trust and respect you so much, Jocko.
