i'm a product of the pussification of america lol. i learned 'strength from an odd source; a book called zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance. (it also pushed me into my current field of work) and just one little paragraph did it. it talks about a greek word/concept - arrete, meaning excellence. meaning that one strives to run like a wolf, fight like a bear, argue like a lawyer, spout poetry like led zepplin, sing like, well, led zepplin (lmfao), etc, because to do anything less than excell in all that one does would displease the gods.

books change lives. strange... and completely OT. sorry.
