The Real World Official

I fell to bits because of the rose, What should I do with a rose garden? Without you, oh, my beloved, What should I do with life, and the world? If anyone else in the two worlds has sight of your face And in that moment my eyes fill with blood, What should I do? In remembrance of your lips, beloved Now and again, I sip, but... What should I do with crimson wine while there’s blood in my heart? What is a tulip in the desert? Scented rose of the coquettish garden, If your shining face isn’t there? What should I do with the moon in the heavens? My world and my life is you, my beloved. Ever since I was cut from the reed bed, My cries have caused men and women to weep. I want a heart torn to shreds by separation, so I may explain the pain of longing...

The universe doesn’t hand out status for free. It makes you take the long scenic route through chaos, stress and high voltage adversity.

Give a child this choice of: his old toy, with tattered cloth and missing eyes and a terrible stench - or a brand new toy fresh out of the box He will choose the old toy every time. This is suffering, this is experience, this is wisdom to men. You get hurt - badly. But those who need you, love you more than ever.

A man’s power is experience. Experience is only gained via suffering. Advice = other people’s experience gained by suffering. Reason = Analyzing how you suffered and if it was worth it. Imagination = understanding the suffering which could happen. It’s suffering that gives man power, that gives him meaning. Like a well-worn teddy bear, who’s comforted a child for years - the more damaged he is, the more valuable he is.

Very few men are born with the lofty virtue of a brave soul. A brave man can not help but be brave. Choosing the brave sentiment is as sure as drawing breath - even if these choices come at great personal detriment. Every single man you can name from history was born this way. Those who were not, can not be named. And every single man who is not wired with this nobility, attacks, insults and sneers while consumed by the burning fire of jealousy. Hell is fire. Hell on earth is the fire of resentment engulfing the cowardly man while he watches the brave survive the endless consequences and enjoy the endless glory of their actions.

People believe freedom is the ultimate goal because their life is out of balance. They want MORE freedom, to counterbalance its opposite, responsibility. Everybody already has enough responsibility. Too much freedom or too much responsibility is unhappiness. The Yin needs the Yang. The ultimate goal is balance.

It is a dangerous misconception that mental hygiene involves peace or equilibrium. What man needs is a struggle towards a worthwhile goal, and the more neurotic the man, the larger a struggle he requires. The best men on earth take on the most impossible tasks. Arches need MORE weight to be strong, not less. Without an anchor of purpose all minds collapse. Nobody suffers from ADHD while facing down a tiger. They are very focused indeed.

A simple way to generate endless luck in life. Want to win every time you go to the casino? Want to win every coin flip? Want things to always work out in your favor? It’s extremely simple. When God decides it’s time for you to suffer, do it gracefully and honorably with your head held high. Everyone must suffer, and God hates complainers. He hates men who moan and bitch and feel sorry for themselves. Get through it with dignity intact and watch how hard you win when it’s all over.

You must take arms against a set of troubles. Life is wasted if you neither suffer or oppose.

The pupil (student) of the eye observes all things yet is blind to himself.

Most men discover in life's trials that their stoicism is imagined, their courage is theoretical and they’re defenseless in battle against the universe.

In school you learn how they want you to believe life works and how people think. On the streets you learn how life really works and how people actually think. To truly win in all realms, respected by women, millions of dollars and friends who never betray you. You need to learn both of these paths. Merge them in the perfect combination and conquer.

I allow manipulation to find out where my enemy wants me to go. Then I use my mind to break the trap and punish the perpetrators.

If divinity has a plan for you it involves suffering. If divinity has a message for you it involves suffering. When life is going perfectly fine and you’re just ticking by - divinity is preparing its purpose for you. You have not been forgotten. Prepare.

Untested men never know the truth. They live ignorant. Believing in strength they don’t have, believing in rules of the world which simply don’t exist. You do not understand the truth of people, of pain, of life, of struggle - unless you have been tested. Even worse. Unless you suffer, deeply, in your core, you do not know the truth of yourself.

STOP! What is preoccupying your mind? WHY? Take control.

It is natural for a doctor to encounter sickness. It is natural for a warrior to encounter struggle.

Worrying is using your imagination to create something you don’t want.

You do not need a holiday in the mountains. You don’t need to relax on the beach. You need to close your eyes and retreat to the quiet and peaceful part of your mind. Peace exists in one place, inside of yourself. Or it doesn’t exist at all.

Chi is an internal fire. A weak flame can be extinguished by a wet log. But a strong chi, will dry out and engulf the wood growing the flame. What doesn’t kill you, makes you harder to kill. No matter what is thrown at my chi, no matter how large or wet, I engulf and grow stronger. Everything will burn.
