INVESTIGATE YOURSELF
EVERYTHING THAT IS GOOD IN MAN is associated with his fighting qualities, and he who has no fighting qualities is not a man, even though he looks like one. In fact, it is man's fighting powers that make him what he is. These fighting qualities are manifested in hundreds of different ways, according to the breed and character of the individual.
Why then should we suppress and defame the highest and holiest and most virile of masculine forces? Why should we declare that the virtues of tranquility are nobler than the virtues of combat? What reason is there in this? The argument for “peace of earth” is without logic, without reason and without justice. It is at enmity with every man whose prosperity is still to be won.
Is not all life a battle for bread? How can we get lands, women and gold, if we must not fight for them? What madness therefore to condemn the struggle for existence? Rather should we glorify it and raise it to the highest pinnacle of honor—deify it in fact.
Ask yourself—are you a winner in the struggle for existence. If not, why not? Why are you a failure? Why are you so helpless and suppressed? Why so inefficient? What is the matter with you? Where are your fighting qualities? Have you really got any? If so, why do you permit yourself to be crushed and broken?
Go—investigate yourself.
