Wisdom is the most UNDERRATED character trait. In my world, it's my "6IXTH MAN" and we all have opportunities, daily, to sub wisdom into our lives in place of ignorance. If knowing what to do is half the battle, the other half is letting what you know form WHO YOU ARE!

6ixth Man Part 2ish
I'm trying to make sense on a daily basis of what exactly the sixth man is in my life. I'm certain it is Jesus Christ. Nevertheless, I attempt to understand how I can invoke the advantage of the "Sixth Man" in every area. Where can I compete with a one-man advantage? Well i find that the opportunity is at every turn. What man doesn't need the sixth man advantage when faced with vices of a world that rationalizes truth with opportunism. I mean...am I the only one who grew up around adults who said, "You're acting like you're grown" as if to say that right now you can't say certain things or do certain things but when you're an adult have at it. When we are exposed to such a culture, stewing in the juices of compromise and quasi-commitment it is no wonder we struggle to exist with bonafide loyalty and unmitigating truth. The "Sixth Man" becomes crucial in a world like ours because we're overmatched. We are the enemy we face in so many areas. The best analogy I can think of is Wesley Sni;es starring as the superhero "Blade". He hunts vampires bent on human blood and despises them. But he himself is the very thing that he hunts. He staves off his hunger for humans with a potion. The potion is his "Sixth man" or else he'd be competing and losing a pretty one-sided battle. If you missed the Blade movies, rent them so you get my analogy. Otherwise just know that in this world, no one stands a chance against evil minus the "Sixth Man". Character is multi-faceted, represented by many virtues but they all originate from the same source...Jesus Christ. All that is good has been birthed and you need the power of the creator to produce that good in the heart of one who is a product of a corrupted planet. Long live the Sixth Man in you and me.
