“To live a life of virtue, you have to become consistent, even when it isn't convenient, comfortable, or easy.”
— Epictetus

The people I dig the most are those who stayed wild, far from modern life for ages, and just roam free through life. Folks like the Cossacks, the old Highlanders, Iberian folks in the Southern Cone, and Americans out West. All of them have this spark that you don't see in other European folks. It's like this bigger flame that makes them ride through fields knowing they're unstoppable because they'll always stay independent, no matter what political or economic choices are made. These folks lived far from big cities and kept away from other people; modernity and State power over others' lives showed up late for them, so they always stayed wild, daring, independent, and a intolerant.
