“War is the father of all things and the ruler of all; it has revealed some as gods and others as mere mortals, making some slaves and others free.” — Heraclitus

The truth is inevitable. The sooner you understand the reality around you, the better prepared you’ll be to survive in this concrete jungle. It is the terrain that sets the rules, never the soldier. Strategy is what you plan in times of peace; tactics are what you improvise in the trench after the first wound. Salute, amico mio! 🥃

All the evil that happens in society today is because of men. I don’t care if you disagree — this is my opinion. Only men have the power to destroy and build the world. Women may want to, but they don’t have the gift of creating or destroying the world. A woman can only destroy the world in the absence of the masculine, and she can only build it in the presence of the masculine. Man has the power to change the system because creation is 99% the result of the masculine spirit. The references are almost endless across every level of human knowledge. In Christianity, God didn’t ask Eve for an explanation — He asked Adam. When man collapses, everything else collapses.

In Goodfellas, the garlic-slicing scene was inspired by Nicholas Pileggi’s real interviews with mobsters — they actually shaved garlic with razor blades in prison so it would liquefy in the pan. https://blossom.primal.net/d40574dc37d5c218f6d942b7940a42be08a66f79859ed7a286938b2c2dd21c39.mp4

"Since it is so likely that children will meet cruel enemies, let them at least have heard of brave knights and heroic courage." — C.S. Lewis

Samson fell because of lust. So did Solomon. The strongest man and the wisest man in Scripture both fell to the same mistake. Most of the time, the most dangerous enemies take the form of things we believe don’t need to be fought; they disguise themselves as pleasure.

This is a very important moment for a boy: he was afraid, nervous, thinking he wasn’t capable of breaking the board with his kick, and so he started to cry. Maybe his mother wanted to run over, pick him up, comfort him, and take him away from the pressure. But this was a space for men, and men identify a weakness and do everything they can to help overcome it. Men encouraging men. Shouting their names in the middle of the challenge. Notice how the boy falls, and his friend grabs him by the collar of his gi and lifts him back up, keeping him in front of the challenge, while the instructor keeps giving commands on how to do it. The symbolism here is incredible. The highest expression of masculine care is encouraging someone to swallow their tears, because there’s work to be done, and it’s not the time to stop. https://video.nostr.build/9546a02a7d62ed240cf6e82cdd5e3a2ed9298f86e1779e8d87810fe0d76fd0ee.mp4

“The problem is never the problem itself, but how we respond to it—turning it into a solution.” When someone is rude to you, respond with kindness. When someone approaches you with illogical or unreasonable arguments, raise the level of the conversation. But how do you do that? First, recognize the miscommunication by assessing its vibrational frequency. Then, calmly inform the person that this is not the best way to communicate with you. If the behavior continues after the notification, distance yourself from the person and/or remove yourself from the environment. If this pattern of behavior persists, the best course of action is to cut ties or limit that person’s presence in your network—or, if it’s a professional context, restrict their involvement accordingly. This is one of the key protocols in Conflict and Crisis Management within Networking. “The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.” – Sun Tzu

💀 Most men die at 20... but are only buried at 70. Not just physically, but mentally and spiritually. They stop dreaming. They stop growing. They trade purpose for comfort. Ambition for routine. Goals for pleasure. After that, they merely survive. Numbed. Crawling. Alive, but not truly living. Be the one who does not settle. Live fully. Rest in peace. 📌 "If a man makes himself a worm, he should not complain when he is trampled on." (Immanuel Kant, The Doctrine of Virtue)
