Self-manifestation and equilibrium. Everything the universe does is to expand its being while bringing the things in equilibrium.  If your will has something to do with that, your will is not only yours anymore.

One can recognize two types of discipline: one occurs by fear and conformity, the other by passion. In fact discipline is a concept of the will to wich we attend at those moments when passion is not there at work.

Shortcuts / Mediocrity

No matter if in battlefield or in the library, shortcuts are definitly the best way to mediocrity. What can you spect from so many university degrees  based in shortcuts, selling theirselves as "overviews" or "resumes", if not sophisticated mediocrity?

The practical meaning of overviews or resumes are always a upcoming task, but how often you settled to a overview or resume without upcoming tasks that are taken really  seriously?

Independence of outcome is one thing; using the "complexity (or relativity) of knowledge" for a masked establishment of mediocrity is another thing.

For the first time in history there is only pseudo high-culture in our education : no culture, and no high-culture either. 

How can you  respect a political position that permits to murder a baby ( just because he is “inside”) but discriminates openly who eat a stupid but sacred piece of chicken?!

As if one could after a rhetorical choreography incentivate whatever murder as a legal and standardized option!  Human babies are therefore going to have less dignity as a chicken.

Some musicians are gently and absolutely flawless and respectful with certain  music; some musicians fall deeply in love with the music they do, sometimes even without respect.

More than the beautiful  thing in itself, beautiful is the shared experience of this thing.
