A quote from Matthew McConaughey about the difference between a nice man and a good man:

A nice guy gets along. They don't necessarily have discernment or judgment, not sure what they stand for or stand against. It's like yes, yes, yes, sure. A good man has ideals that they stand for and they stand against. And when they're tested, a good man is not a nice guy.

Being a good man is a lot harder for good reason. Not going to be the most popular. Not going to be always the most affable. It also doesn't mean you got to be a dick. It just means sometimes you got to go, I believe in this, this is for me, and that is not for me.

A good man's not looking for trouble. But if it comes, and if something he cares about was trespassed on, a good man does what he can to stop that.

Too many people abdicate moral responsibility.

A quote from a book I'm reading, and it really resonated with me. I can still clearly remember as a teen the moment I realized my parents were basing morals off the laws of the government. Maybe it was along the same time as I was studying World War II, I don't know. But it really bothered me, and when I tried to voice my thoughts I got told I was too young and didn't understand.
