Warrior Scholar Manifesto

I decided that I would be informed.  I would keep up on current events and the ever changing globo-politico atmosphere.  Boy what a fucking mistake that was.  I'm now inundated with that same feeling of dread and hopelessness that overtook me in my teens, I was convinced that I would be living in a dystopian wasteland when I was finally an adult.  Instead, I live on the bleeding edge of a new frontier.  Where the ethereal shapes the real.  In a time where almost anything can become woven into the tangible.  While many embark on fantastic lives and grasp at a life once dreamed of. There are, however, agents, wreaking havoc, ready to steal a bright and magnificent future from all of us.

That is why we must fight.

Keep informed, stay on top, gnaw, rip, gnash and tear at the fabric of deceit.  Undermine those who would undermine us.  Understand the power of the individual, and understand the power of many individuals united.  We've all seen what can happen when we're not looking, entire elections stolen!  In plain sight!

Elect to be strong.  Strong of mind.  Strong of body.  Strong of will.  Become the cornerstone, load-bearing, deep of thought.  Make no excuses.  There is no reason to stand idle.  You might end up standing alone, but the ether is vast and you can reach out to those who will stand with you.  Steel yourself though, you must also reach out to those who disagree with you.  Perspective is necessary, understand your enemy, but more important understand your neighbor for you must know why they fight, what they are passionate about.

Read.  Read like there's no tomorrow.  Root yourself in a library for 8 hours a day.  Read them all, absorb them, incorporate them into the very fibers of your being.  Take a look at every book and know they will bring insight and wisdom.  When your eyes bleed, corneas torn, and brain is throbbing you will write.  You will write until your fingers are bloody stumps.  Let the brilliance of the world and the purpose of fighting compel you.  Make the mind sharp as steel and share it with all who will listen.

Train.  Take everything that makes you civilized and leave it at the door.  The place where you train is yours and only yours.  There are many who will come through that door, but when you walk in, channel all that is primal and savage and leave them in the civilized world.  Lift, drop, carry, and run with the fury of those who have only known death and honor.  Carry yourself with unbreakable purpose.  Stand tall with a honed mind and imposing form.
