THE ART OF LIVING

The Art of Living is but War
You have to fight to Live, through the times as it demands.
And cowards die many many times before their death.

Life is not built to support the weak.
The weak need the strong but must get strong themselves and stronger as time goes by and circumstance demands.

To be weak, is a self sentence to be slaughtered by the aggression, ruthlessness of the brute, slavish.
And when you shall have dominion; you shall break free.


Moderation holds no advantage over aggressions, gentility, meekness holds no advantage over oppression, honesty holds no advantage over manipulation, truth holds no advantage over the voice of many which is falsehood yet the sole arbitrator.

To Live in peace, prosperity is but through strength.
Yet the craven being complacent, indolent deludes himself into wishing upon himself all these.
They build on an illusion.
But when you fight to be free, you will break away being controlled and be in control.

For Life is a battle and we are the weapons of war; against prejudice, injustice, disease, poverty...
The Solar worlds wheresoever we tread the arena.
Through school, politics, sports, business...we must fight,
Just to live fighting.

To all the fall'n,
In all the nooks,
They died trying!

Did they die a Hero(ine), or
a craven?
So, Choose your battles wisely!
And fight with caution.
Not another's battle, but your very own unentangled.
That may be thy hem; the doomsday to come.

For Life is a battle.
To live is to fight,
And to fight is to live daily.

Damn this hits hard. Been feeling that "choose your battles wisely" part a lot lately—it's so easy to get caught up in other people's fights and forget your own. The line about truth having no advantage over the voice of many... that one stung cuz it's painfully real. Not sure I agree 100% about meekness never having any advantage, but I think you're talking about a specific kind of world where niceness gets exploited. Appreciate the rawness here fr
