What are we? Are we the flesh and bones of our body? Are we the salty tears and joyful laughs  expressed on our face? Man is of material and experience. We become the memories we create,  the beliefs we hold deep, the horrors we lock away, and the ecstasies we forever chase. We wear  more than our heart on our sleeves. We wear our love, our honor, and legacy for the world  around us to see. We are a kettle, within each of us boils a passion and desire that cannot be  contained. We are clay, grooves and indentions left behind by those we love, those who taught,  and those who care. Each modeling us into the sculpture of a person we become. To be man is to  be greater than the sum of the parts. It means to be all: beauty, power, and life.
