…because some mornings a “reflection” just doesn’t cut it:
The world you desired can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it’s yours. But to win it requires total dedication and a total break with the world of your past, with the doctrine that man is sacrificial animal who exists for the pleasure of others. Fight for the value of your person. Fight for the virtue of your pride. Fight for the essence, which is man, for his sovereign rational mind. Fight with the radiant certainty and the absolute rectitude of knowing that yours is the morality of life and yours is the battle for any achievement, any value, any grandeur, any goodness, any joy that has ever existed on this earth.
What brings this on? Freezing rain with a brief break changing to sleet and snow and then about a foot of snow on top of all that coming at us in the next 24 hours and I’ve got WAY too much to do to just hide from it.
