This Golden Age Of Struggle
If suffering is the price we must pay for existing then struggle is the price we must pay for achieving since meaningful struggle only occurs when we leave our comfort zone & strive.
Struggle is both internal & external: Internal struggle is with weakness, external struggle is with life & to overcome the former is to embrace the latter.
By the process of painfully cutting away that which is weak or unsuitable through struggle life ascends, in the absence of struggle life falters. We must embrace this process & allow it to transform us, nothing lost by doing so was of real value.
Avoiding suffering and struggle only promotes weakness & in the end it will come anyway.
The difference between a domesticated animal & a wild one is struggle.
Strength only truly exist in the presence of struggle & if no struggle presents itself the strong will create it. The purpose of strength is struggle, it is of no use to the safe & comfortable. This is why there are so few strong men in soft times & why the strong are so difficult to govern.
Nations are manifest by how well they engage in struggle: materially, culturally & spiritually. If a race or nation cannot overcome through struggle & live then it will be overcome by struggle & die - this is as it should be.
Life itself is struggle, the more meaningful the struggle the better. Take joy in struggle, it is life’s greatest blessing for a universe without struggle is vacant & stagnant. If you long for past glories or a golden age & curse these times because of the burden it places upon us then you haven’t understood: Struggle was never the enemy, the enemy is weakness.
For those strong enough to bear it, this is a golden age of struggle.
This is a beautiful & terrible thing.
