The process of life is necessarily difficult.
[Tweet “The process of life is necessarily difficult.”]
Difficulty is what makes men better. It’s a necessity. If life is too easy we don’t improve. Some of that difficulty has to be actively sought and pursued. (Read This: It Would Be a Tragedy to Never Face Adversity)
It may not naturally come into our lives. In fact, today, we can avoid much of the difficulty that strengthened men for decades, centuries, and millennia.
The qualities that built civilizations, the grit, the gameness, the toughness, were all natural outcomes of a way of life.
The qualities that will destroy a civilization, the entitlement, the political correctness, the pussification of a culture, are also a natural outcome of a way of life.
The Way of Pussification
If you want a weak, politically correct and divided nation, award without merit. We know that awarding without merit devalues the work and the talent necessary for victory. It also devalues the loser.
Also, aim to separate based on class or race. Instead of it being rich verses poor – a form of division that didn’t work in countries like America – they’re successfully pitting ‘oppressed’ versus the ‘oppressor’, two made up monikers used to pit people against one another based on race rather than unifying based on nationality.
Terms like African-American or Latino-American shouldn’t exist. Black caucuses and Latino caucuses shouldn’t exist. White pride and black pride and gay pride should be replaced by American Pride.
When you have people that grow up not having to focus on survival or earning or working or winning, when they demonize natural human activities like hunting and fishing, when they get everything they need and want in an instant, you can control them by tapping into their weak emotional states. And the best way to sway an emotional populace is to create victims.
When you don’t have to move out in your early twenties and when you’re allowed to stay on your parent’s healthcare plan and when you vote for someone who promises free stuff, you evolve into an entitled human, a weak human, a pussy.
When you can avoid real conflict by being a perpetual commentator on social media and a communicator only on your phone, you’re going to grow up to be a pussy.
When you list ‘being famous’ as your ideal career more than you list any other occupation, you can’t help but grow up to be a coward.
The Way of Grit
The way of grit is tougher. It’s a way of life where people work with their hands and communicate face-to-face.
Their life was often chosen for them and their options were limited. Men at the age of 23 had 3 things, 3 jobs, and bills to pay. Their only choice was to work, finding themselves wasn’t a thing.
Life was good. It was immediate. Food was hunted and nature was enjoyed by being in it, not watching it from a safe distance on TV or viewing it in photos.
The way of grit, of a populace that fought for freedom and came home scarred forever by battle, was one of duty to something greater than the individual. It was an ‘ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country’ generation, a radical even ‘hateful’ proposition by today’s sensitive standards where we ask the exact opposite question.
People paid for college rather than incurring massive loans, as a result, college was cheaper. They saved rather than spent. Even if they were rich they didn’t want to ‘appear rich’, so as to alienate themselves from their neighbors whom the genuinely cared about.
We have what we have…
Because life is easy.
We worry about weird thing because we’re afforded the luxury to do so.
We’re excused from life’s brutal realities because we can be dependents far later in our lives than ever before, in fact, it’s even fashionable to do so.
At some point, however, these dependents and pussies will run our nations. Many think that this will be alright, that we’ll thrive regardless. But this will only be true if these pussies change, if they toughen up, and if they become self-reliant.
So while the cowards ask for hand-outs, ask for a greater burden to bare.
As the pussies run from responsibility, seek it out, ask for more to be placed on your shoulders.
One day we will run our nations, but only those willing to do what’s necessary, what’s difficult, what must be done for the greater good. Train to be those men. Let the cowards cry, one day you’ll carry them and their tears.
