THE FIRST COWARDICE

The first cowardice of any people is their fear of truthful speech, followed by their inability to trust one another, their paranoia because of it, their inability to build a commercial civilization because of it, and their serfdom to superstition, convention, propaganda, or falsehood because of all four. 😉

The cause of the first cowardice of any people is the fear of admission of one’s sexual, social, economic, intellectual, artistic, political, and military value. The fear of admitting one’s value, causes fear of speaking truth regardless of the consequences.

This is what separates western man from the west. To one another, we speak the truth no matter the consequences. We no voice, respect or honor not earned. We need no lies to believe to provide us comfort. No gods to worship but our ancestors. No book to memorize other than the book of nature we write anew with each generation. No universe to fear but the labor of its conquest and seed.

We do not fear the truth. We do not fear domesticating the animal in ourselves – or in others. We profit from it. And we do not rattle sabers without the certainty of the will to draw them.

So, do not throw stones of cowardice when you live in glass houses. Your words are empty. If you cannot speak truth, then you are but a coward from the moment you open your mouth.
