Truth grew in my mind like a fungus, and though I tried to sleep it out, there was no resisting the epiphanies.

Everybody wants to be fancy and new. Nobody wants to be themselves. I mean, maybe people want to be themselves, but they want to be different, with different clothes or shorter hair or less fat. It's a fact. If there was a guy who just liked being himself and didn't want to be anybody else, that guy would be the most different guy in the world and everybody would want to be him.

Job found contentment and even joy, outside the context of comfort, health or stability. He understood the story was not about him, and he cared more about the story then he did about himself.

Good stories must travel through conflict. And in epic stories, the conflict must become unbearable.

Without a positive male role model in your life it is extremely difficult to become a man who benefits his family and benefits society.
