Beware of the Quiet Ones like Keanu Reeves — They Are the Ones That Actually Make A Difference

The world doesn’t need more macho men with bulging biceps who call each other bros.

We’re past the point where puffed-out chests and swinging dicks are cool.

What the world needs is more compassion, humility, and kindness and Keanu Reeves has them in bucket-loads.

He once said:

“I don’t want to be part of a world where being kind is a weakness.”

And neither do I.

However, he lives a far more paradoxical life than I do.

On the one hand, he’s right in the middle of fame and fortune, glitz and glamour, comparison and competition. But on the other, he’s a lone ranger who likes to keep himself to himself and contemplate the mysteries of the universe.

I’ve often wondered how someone can juggle such contrasts but it made sense when I took a closer look at his past. Here are four major events that shaped his life:

• His father left him when he was 3 years old.
• His daughter was born a stillborn at 8 months old.
• His wife died in a car accident.
• His best friend died of an overdose.
