How does a man reveal himself? He reveals himself by his conduct, his behavior, the things he does. He reveals himself by his words, the things he says, the things that come out of his mouth. He reveals himself by his humor, what he thinks is funny, what he laughs at. A man reveals himself by the kind of people he likes, the kind of people he is most comfortable with, the kind of people he associates with, the kind of people he admires; also, by the kind of people he dislikes, the kind of people he is not comfortable around, the kind of people he doesn't admire. A good man likes honest, just, upright, chaste, good people, is most comfortable around that kind of people, admires that kind of people. A bad man likes bad, impure, immoral people, admires that kind of people, is most comfortable around that kind of people. Everyone gravitates toward their own kind. Mar 2005
