Strike First

Men of caliber fight with the universe.

You must wrangle your desires from space-time WITH YOUR BARE HANDS.

A body crafted for war.

The finance to move nations.

A beautiful woman's love.

These must be WON in the BATTLE against mediocracy.

If you avoid battle. If you sit still, praying for peace without a sword in your hand

Then you are simply taken prisoner by the invading horde and enslaved to eternal insignificance.

Paying your bills, paying your taxes.

Nobody knowing your name.

Nobody caring if you live or die.

You either fight back or you are at best a cog in the machine.

If you don't attack life first, then life gives you serfdom.

If you certainly can't live as a nobody.

Then the fight is certain.

So strike FIRST.

Unless you are happy to be a peasant there will be conflict between the universe and the masculine spirit.

You owe it to yourself to at least get the first shot.
