10 Characteristics of Good, Unbroken Men
by So often we hear about the broken men in our society, but rarely do we hear about the unbroken, good men who, in spite of all the trials and tribulations they have endured in life, bring a wealth of love and happiness to others around them. This article is a small testimonial to those brothers.
No, they will not allow us to emasculate them by loud talking them in their homes let alone public. They will not be made to feel less intelligent or important because their education or career does not measure up in the eyes of society, you or the opinions of your family or friends. They are good men, period. With or without matching degrees, cars, bank accounts or careers.
No, our degrees or well-paying careers/jobs do not intimidate them. They are proud to know a woman who can carry her own, but isn’t so disillusioned that she believes it makes her better than him nor does she allow it to draw a wedge between them. No, they will not give in to whimsical, irrational, inquietus or selfish demands in order to prove their love for us. This does not demonstrate love or devotion rather it is indicative of weak and desperate man.
A good brother is a man in every sense of the word. He knows that he is a leader and the head of his family, home and relationship. He loves the Lord and knows his word and either lives by it word for word or walks in faith and comes as close as a human being can to it. He isn’t doing drugs, selling them, amassing lovers and leaving his seed strewn about. He isn’t beating, using, abusing or lying to women. His actions match his words.
If he has to be “checked” because, as a human being will do, he makes a mistake or crosses a line, he is not shaken or lessened because he realizes he is human and therefore fallible, and there is no shame in admitting to a mistake.
Below, you will find 10 of the characteristic traits of an unbroken, good man:
~ He is a man who can chronicle for you the trials and tribulations he has endured throughout his life. You will hear how the good, the bad and the ugly have served to make him wiser and better, not lessened and demeaned.
~ He’s the subtly eager man who can’t wait to reach out to another person wading through life’s turbulent times and show him how to emerge a better man.
~ He loves cautiously, but just as passionately as he did his first love.
~ His shell is tough, but his heart is tender and strong. His strength is in his reserve.
~ He doesn’t buy or lease his friendships, acquaintances, family or relationships. His ability to see beyond his flaws or shortcomings enables him to improve himself without sacrificing those around him.
~ He may not meet society’s perception of physical beauty or material wealth, but both attributes reflect from within him like a beacon.
~ He does not pay lip service to God’s word, as a matter of fact you never hear him say it at all because he lives, breathes and exudes it in all that he says and does.
~ He is surrounded by other good men.
~ He’s upfront, never evasive. You know exactly where he’s coming from.
~ His words match his actions.
Today and everyday, we must seek out and acknowledge the good, unbroken men amongst us. There are plenty, we just have to learn how to spot them. The “little men” we are birthing and raising must be shaped and molded to be unbroken, good men BEFORE birth. Choose their fathers carefully……………………………

When we see the tramps with ugly out-looking on the corner of the road, what will be your reaction? I think most of us would make space for these tramps or we would rather like detouring in order to keep a certain distance from them than walking pass them directly. We are always cheated by our eyes. We feel sick towards these tramps not because they are bad men but because they are smelly and ugly.
I used to be the one who would detour for the tramps and thought they are all lazy ugly bad person. And I thought they would eat the tramp cats and dogs if they could not find anything to eat. But one day something changed my mind. That was a cold night, I went back home late. As a single woman walking on the dark cold street, I stepped up my vigilance. Suddenly I heard some whisper from the dark deep lane. If I were the original New Yorker, I might make up my pace and leave there. But as I come from New Jersey, I walked toward the source of the sound. Then I saw a tramp companied with several cats and dogs. He gave these little animal food and love. It seems like a picture from heaven, everything was in a harmony in that dark lane. Then I found that I knew that tramp, he was always sitting on the corner in front of my company and every time I saw him, I suspected that he was an unknown murderer.
Maybe he is a good person, at least he treats these animal well. The real kind-hearted person might not always wear the rubber wristbands which have the words “Animal Protection” on them, but they would treat animal or other people as well as they could. Never judge others by their appearance.

Man like that do exist, i\’m one of them. The road to to become this man is so hard that most man coward away from it.
I come from a south american family, I was a pain as a kid, i grew up with discipline from my parents, i survived cancer (leukemia) while i was still in high school (officially i\’m considered Cured), I was a reject in my high school years, i got to college, had my first girlfriend who eventually broke my heart ( enjoyed the experience of dating her and made me grow emotianally stable ), during my college i read a lot of psychology book and during my high school years too simply to understand the world around me ( developped empathy for others )….To be continued
Hope this serves as an example that if you want to be a man Roberts Frost advice \” I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference. \”
I always followed my sense of what was right.
