I try with all of my faults to be a man my children one day can look up to. Not as a hero, paragon or perfect man, but as a man that did what he could with his limitations to be better than his predecessors, so them, one day, can also be.
In a 100 years people will be saying "we need a new StabEm".
Mom and dad say I'm great, and that's more than I could ask for.
I am just a man. I strive not for greatness but instead for duty done for my family and those important to me. Whatever my worth to them is what determines my ranking in life, but it should only be measured after my passing in order to gauge it in whole. I will live and die not knowing where I stand but still doing what must be done for my family. That's all I need.
One day people will sing songs of the exploits of the mighty Chimpfighter. Slayer of 10,000 niggers and 6 gorrilion jews
I hope to be remembered as such time will tell
I can not judge myself. It's up to individuals to decide that. I do what I do, not to be great, but to do what is necessary.
I am a Man, it will suffice.
