More From Friedrich Engels

Dynamic ecstasy is absolute romanticism , absolute heroism . and here i return to my point. from my point of view, after the catastrophe which we feel and think is universal, a catastrophe resulting from an excess of useless dynamism of useless progress, of useless realism, of useless technology, after this an unattainable democracy is to be reached through the conception and realization of a new romanticism.

The greatest cruelties of our century have been the impersonal cruelties of remote decision, of system and routine, especially when they could be justified as regrettable operational necessity.

Well used are those cruelties (if it is permitted to speak well of evil) that are carried out in a single stroke, done out of necessity to protect oneself, and are not continued but are instead converted into the greatest possible benefits for the subjects. badly used are those cruelties which. although being few at the outset, grow with the passing time instead of disappearing. those who follow the first method can remedy their condition with god and with men; the others cannot possibly survive.
Men Evil Done
Lf the attribute of popular government in peace is virtue, the attribute of popular government in revolution is at one and the same time virtue and terror, virtue without which terror is fatal, terror without which virtue is impotent. the terror is nothing but justice, prompt, severe, inflexible; it is thus an emanation of virtue.

There was something i was always very good at, however, and that was teaching myself not to be frightened while frightening things are going on. it is difficult to do this, but i had learned. it is simply a matter of putting one’s fear aside, like the vegetable on the plate you don’t want to touch until all of your rice and chicken are gone, and getting frightened later, when one is out of danger. sometimes i imagine i will be frightened for the rest of my life because of all of the fear i put aside during my time in stain’d-by-the-sea.

As a kid, i succumbed to peer pressure; i created an image of myself that was not true. but that belief system ended with the death of a close friend. it was then that i reached out for help from my father. it wasn't the teachings of the four agreements exactly, it was just my father's teachings in general. and because of this, i am grateful to continue my family's legacy. in this way, i say "thank you" to my family and teachers before me.
