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.

What if it too only leads by example?

Well at that point you have to ask yourself if you want to be good or evil. Personally, I want to be good. I believe the ideal man is good. In a sense, everyone is "leading by example." Some people are just more worthy of being following than others.

I guess the whole point of this thread is, everyone is a walking example of how to live. Be mindful of how you live, people are watching and observing you. You are either being a good or bad example. These are the ideals I believe a man should model his own life upon.
