He was tall, lean, with tight jeans, leather skin, cowboy hat and a big cigarette puffing out of his head.
He was The Marlboro Man.
G-Pop grew up believing that this cowboy was the symbol of masculinity.
Unfortunately, G-Pop was so-so tall, portly, marshmallow skin, baseball hat, with no “Puff the Magic Dragon.” Needless to say, his appearance was not deemed macho.
The vision persisted until other images of emaciated victims of cigarette smoking splashed on the scene–the consequence of years of tobacco, tar and nicotine.
So nowadays we don’t really know what makes up a man or what constitutes a woman, though we are certain that the two sexes are better when they intertwine instead of interact.
What makes a man?
What constitutes a woman?
It does sound like the beginning of a very long essay, or a series done by a writer attempting to generate readership through a dribble of controversy. G-Pop shall save you the time.
- A man is a person who tells the truth, beginning with himself.
- Likewise a woman tells the truth, beginning with herself.
The absence of truth places every human being right back in the center of the animal kingdom, willing to do anything to survive.
And as Pontius Pilate sardonically phrased, “What is truth?”
Truth is what we understand to be factual, while waiting for more information to enlighten us.
There’s nothing sexier than telling the truth.
Nothing more romantic than making it clear that you can be trusted.
There’s nothing more valuable to another soul than being able to relax with the account that’s been stated, and have some measure of confidence that it’s true.
Matter of fact, the truth sounds terribly alluring until you realize that occasionally it demands confession, apologies and repentance.
There is a contingency of our society that has begun to believe that the best way to avoid difficulty is to always deny any responsibility. It is pukey, sickening and devoid of any of the clarity which makes it simpler to live life.
Somebody lied to The Marlboro Man about cigarettes, so he ended up lying to us. Somebody’s lying today, and we are being tempted to buy into the lies and offer them up as explanations.
God help us all.
G-Pop would love to encourage his children to tell the truth, beginning with themselves.
It’s not always pretty, but it is always beautiful.
