I once heard it described as: men must strive to be like a mountain, standing firm and calm amidst the chaotic crashes of the ocean waves.

Wang Mang?
Wow.
Most men I know can't even stand the rain.
Oceans crashing? Few..
Yeah, like a mountain.
Or, no... too passive.
Rather, like a dormant volcano.
Restrained aggression. Emotional and sexual continence. Quiet, contemplative control.
You can always tell, when a situation becomes chaotic and upsetting, and they become _calmer_.
😁FYI, a lot of the time it's just energy deprivation. I know, it's easy to mistake it for calmness.
The expressions on people's faces, when a man like that loses it, always crack me up.
