Glory



"Indeed" My father observed with a laugh, 'Achilles himself could not have answered more in the ancient spirit.But tell me, my son, how will Achilles of Old fare in our modern era's corrupt and inglorious affrays?"
"He will elevate them, Father, by his virtue and by the purity of his purpose.And where he stands, even in this degraded latter day, shall be a noble world and uncorrupted"

-Alexander, The Virtues Of War

Z.O.M.G. You can prepare as much as you want for it, but dopamine withdrawal is the most buummed up thing you can ever get. It's like a world without caffeine. Hopeless. Desolate. Ok, maybe thats a notch to exaggerated. But still.

Anyway, on a I-will-try-not-to-talk-in-first-person-mode point of view, I have realized that the world and all its technological advancement has stolen glory from us. Back in the day, war with spears and swords WERE ALL THE RAGE. And it must've been bloody scary. and totally awesome. You see, strategy wise, war was like a play, there were feints and bluffs, attacks and withdrawals, and even a main character and a supporting cast. When they fight, wounds were like medallions, and like medallions, it was meant to be worn in the front. It was, without a doubt, grusome. But there was honor. There was a cause, to defend home and hearth. That was the goal. To gain glory. that was the goal. Now there is only defense to not be subjugated.How very unmotivated.


On a sidenote, I realize I'm having more rambles then pictures. Oh NO!


Oh, And HAPPY VALENTINES DAY
