Velvet Qualities of a Man

The ideal man is one of both steel and velvet. The velvet qualities are different from those of steel (Read about steel qualities of a man).

In comparison to a building, the steel is the foundation and hard skeleton structure within the building, burdened with the weight of everything. The velvet is the outer skin, the lighter outer layer that moves and bends upon the structure, and provides the softer appearance and interaction with the world. One is tied to the other. Without the strong inner framework, the building would not function, but fail under pressures and forces. The exterior covering provides softness and beauty to the otherwise hardened mass of steel.

When the steel and the velvet work together well, they comprise the ideal, superior man - a masterpiece.
