Sorting

"Every man is born as many men,
and dies a single one."
NCIS

I happened to have my laptop open while my friend's dad was watching NCIS and the second this was said I typed it up on a sticky note. We have the potential to be many men. We decide who we are. We make decisions each moment that define which man we become. I know who I want to be. Deep down I think it's much like the way the sorting hat in Harry Potter works: you get sorted into the house you belong in based on what house you want to be in. Men are much the same. We are who we want to be, we just need to work at it through our actions to learn to be that person, because before we become a single one, we play the roles of many.
