Young Man

  What does it take to become a man? How will you know young man when your time has come? How will you know when you are no longer a boy, but a man? What does it take, how will you know if you have the right stuff, or do you think that it happens simply by a change in your age? How will you become confident in who you are, comfortable in your own skin? In other words, what kind of man will you become, will you be cool? What is cool, what is it that makes you think to yourself, Yea, I'm cool, I got this thing covered?
  Do you know what the coolest thing in the world is? It is to be smart! There are many types of smart, and it comes on many levels. You can know a little about a lot of things, or a lot about a little, it really doesn't matter which, but strive always to be smart! There is nothing cooler then to be smart. Smart is always way cooler then dumb. Young man, I challenge you to be smart!
  OK you say, but how do I get smart? Tis a fine question lad, and if you'll listen, I will show you the way. Look always to what is true, because in truth is wisdom, and to be wise is to know what is true.
You should persue truth, because Truth is like a fine woman, and she is sweet in every way! You must fall in love with Truth, take her in your arms, and pull her so close, that the two of you become one!
But how will you know truth from lies, and will you know Truth when you see her? Truth is always the most beautiful, all others pale along side her.
  God is truth, and all that says otherwise is lies. In truth there is life and that more abundantly. To know what is true is to live in victory, but in lies, there is no victory, only hopelessness and despair!
