The moment we permit weakness — in ourselves OR others — we open the gate for degeneration and withering
“Oh but isn’t weakness human?”, you might ask
Weakness isn’t human
To fail is human, yes
To stay weak isn’t human
To stay weak is to die
To live is human
To die is to cease being human, to die is to be fucking dead
I don’t want you to dominate the world
I don’t want you to worship the silly god of strength
I just want you to not be weak
The moment we permit weakness — in ourselves OR others — we open the gate for degeneration and withering
And this is exactly what is happening right now
We’re too soft
Too comfortable
Too sensitive
Too full of ourselves
Too clean
Too green
And it’s your fault
“They want us weak”
You want you weak
They want us weak?
Yes. No.
Organisation of society presupposes power beyond the weak — thus maintaining order and organisation
Sure “they” want us weak
But not too weak
Not too weak because too weak is useless. Too useless
And useless extends in every direction: you’re useless = you’re useless to you = you’re useless to them
I laugh at today’s culture
I like to stay apolitical but can’t help but laugh at today’s culture
Because this nonsense reflects our nonsense, doesn’t it?
We’re so feeble and serious and offended and oppressed
It’s like the challenge of the day is to be the opposite
In the dark past of humanity — the challenge used to be to not be miserable, not be awful, not be evil, not die
Today, in our all-too-comfortable modernity — the challenge is to not be a fucking wimp
Indeed we’re too comfortable
This made us weak
We have no war, no real plague, no calamities, no famine,
We don’t know what it means to struggle
We create our own struggles, sure. Made up stupid struggles and dramas,
But all that is a big joke,
All your “great struggles” begin with coffee, in an air-conditioned room, and end with a beer, in warm blanket in front of a TV
No wonder you’re depressed! If all your problems and suffering is made up — how can you alleviate it?! How can you solve problems which don’t exist?
Get real problems. Toughen up. Get some purpose.
Weakness transcends the weak and corrupts the whole
The moment we permit weakness — in ourselves OR others — we open the gate for degeneration and withering
LIFE IS NOT PERFECT
Perhaps that’s what makes it INTERESTING
Life is not perfect, life is harsh,
Life is harsh and that means it will not always end beautifully
Life is harsh and some of us will fail, despite our struggles
This is because some of us are TOO WEAK,
And some of those weak WILL adapt, and become stronger,
And some will DIE
And this is the way things are
And to deny this is to deny the truth — which is to lie
The world is not made better with lies — no matter how comforting these lies are
By permitting weakness, by denying weakness — we not only damage ourselves — we damage the whole
What is wrong — is wrong
You correct it — or you suffer
What is wrong — is wrong
You correct someone whose wrong — he corrects his actions and views — or suffers
He becomes better — for his own sake — and for the sake of the society he belongs too
Or he still degenerates — suffering the consequences — and lowering down the society he belongs too
This is not to say we shouldn’t do our best to help others out of their weakness
Again: by improving the lowest — we improve the whole (by improving ANY part of the whole — we improve the whole whole)
“Survival of the fittest” is not that “the fittest” obliterates all the less fit… how does he benefit from that? He can only utilize, consume so many resources!
“Survival of the fittest” really means that those UNFIT will perish, will die.
It’s NOT STRENGTH which is the problem. It’s not the tyranny of “the fittest”
It’s the weakness of the lowest
And again: some of that weakness can’t be remedied, and the suffering and eventual extinction are inevitable
Much of it can be helped, and ought be helped
And it is helped by correcting that weakness
By tempering the mind and body and spirit, strengthening it
If it fails — it fails
If it doesn’t — good for everyone
What we do instead is permit this “weakness” in ourselves and others,
We permit obvious weakness, basic weakness: weakness in our pursuits, weakness in our discipline, weakness of our word,
We not only don’t correct it — we LET IT run loose and damage the system
It’s time to wake up
Glut and comfort weakened us
Weakness isn’t human
To fail is human, yes
To stay weak isn’t human
To stay weak is to die
Live
