“A coward dies a thousand times before his death, but the valiant taste of death but once. It seems to me most strange that men should fear, seeing that death, a necessary end, will come when it will come.”
― Julius Caesar
The cowards are only courageous when they are a crowd. In the silence of their solitude they fear death the most.
Those people in politics and religions are like that. Thus they fuel anger among the commoners to take action while they sit high and mighty on their pedestals watching from far the actions transpired by their sedition.
Of course the biggest lure of all is the promise of the glorious life after death. If they truly believe in such an occurrence why not they be at the forefront of every battle? Why do they stay back while the troops charge to the front line?
In this case why Mr KePala ButUH wore double armor and stayed behind whenever there was a skirmish? Truly this is an act of cowardice. So much for being the Viceroy of God on earth.
Since when taking another person's life in the name of God is justified? I certainly don't approve this. The only time it is permissible to kill another man is in self-defense. Although I had killed before, I still feel that killing in the name of God is a great offense.
I was a soldier then, to survive I must kill. It's either kill or be killed. Iblis drew the first sword. I had no choice. Otherwise I will perish.
Even that, when the dust settled, I did not annihilate Iblis out of oblivion. He became a POW for 2 years. After that I pardoned him and made him Lord Matterhorn, Master of Dark Tactics. All was forgiven. It turned out to be the best decision I ever made as a military personnel.
The purpose of war is peace as stated by Sun Tzu. I didn't want the war but war is necessary to defeat such an adversary as Iblis.
My path towards enlightenment was through Sufism. However just like water, I have to flow according to the terrain. Water can become soft or it can harden. When it is hard, it can even sink the mighty Titanic. I am soft as the spring. But when I have to I can be as hard as the iceberg or the glacier that cuts through the toughest granite.
Nowadays, rather tha[t] acting tough, I think tough. However, my action is soft. I want to go back to my roots. I want to fill my heart with compassion and my soul [] (with) passion again. To [t]o that I have to be a good animal. I must be physically and mentally fit. I must be in motion. To be physically fit I must run. To be mentally fit I must write.
In my case, writing is the aerobic of the mind. By writing, I am letting my mind soars. However the caveat is I got to be in motion. Without action, my thoughts are nothing more than vapors coming out of a boiling kettle. Soon after it is formed it evaporates into thin air.
Only through action I can produce reaction. Thoughts must be acted upon. Without action thought [a]s just futile effort. Consider thought as the byproduct of action. Not the other way around.
Only then we have substance. That is the true meaning of Applied Knowledge. Action creates reaction. Otherwise with talks alone without action preceding it, the talk is just hot air.
From now on whatever talk that I utter must be substantiated with action. It must be an Applied Knowledge rather than hot air.
There are many charlatans in the field of oratory. Too many experts who only know how to talk but lack the ability to take action. These people don't walk the talk. When the rubber meets the [the] road, they will be the first to falter. They are none other than the smooth talking politicians and religious leaders. Those who propagate hatred and war but when left alone will cower under a rock looking for a safe place to hide.

#traxxfm Rex, I will open this blog to you for 15 minutes so you can read this posting. Otherwise Germany will read everything I write here. I love you buddy. remainingthreemonths2019.blogspot.com/2019/11/81119-
#traxxfm It goes back to diet and exercise. Forget about being spiritual. A person on drug can get spiritual. 80% is food and 20% is sweat to invoke man fully functioning. Then Providence moves in.
#traxxfm Hahaha I admit; I am a shopaholic. I am recovering though... sharudinjamal.blogspot.com/2019/10/291019
#traxxfm I did an extensive research on happiness last month. My conclusion is happiness is when I live in gratitude and below my means. I was referring to the personal happiness here and measuring it against material gains. Your research is better.
