I am a man of passion, of conviction, of faith. br I am a man of love, of laughter and of anger. br I am a man of strength, who despairs, who weeps. br I am a man enraged by mans inhumanity to man br and perplexed by He who seems unable to br stop the madness. br br I feel, touch, smell, taste and I see the good br in man. In my deepest despair, somehow I br know that all will be right, for I am an eternal br optimist. I am compelled to hope for the br best in humanity. br br I weep for those who worship at the alter br of ambition, for they shall leave in their br wake, their children, their loved ones, br millions of orphans of success. br br I am man and in my failures and in my br short comings, I continue my utmost br to do His will. br br I am the most unique animal in the Kingdom. br I am the most intelligent and I have many faults. br I am all these things and more...for I am man.
