The Art of Manliness OR What in Gratitude I am Thankful for Of my Ideal Self

For every man to aim at in his own life; and a practice of meditative grace to boot

This is what I intended of a list of Introspected qualities, qualities that I would like to have as well as believing that I had to some degree come to posses inherently. These qualities are Idealized, which does not mean ‘out of grasp’ as indeed I am firm in believing that I have grasped them more or less. Not a brag but a sober and hopeful outlook.

And this is what the Art of Manliness should teach, both such reflection of gratitude in itself and isomorphic to the qualities that I cite, ranked in order that I cite them in importance.
