"Love isn't something natural. Rather it requires discipline, concentration, patience, faith, and the overcoming of narcissism. It isn't a feeling, it is a practice."

"Love is a decision, it is a judgment, it is a promise. If love were only a feeling, there would be no basis for the promise to love each other forever. A feeling comes and it may go. How can I judge that it will stay forever, when my act does not involve judgment and decision."

~Erich Fromm

Baudelaire set up the sacred effigy of beauty in opposition to the smug world of the bourgeoisie. For the vulgar hypocrite and the anaemic aesthetic, beauty is an escape from reality, a cloying holy picture, a cheap seductive: but the beauty, which rises out of Charles Baudelaire’s poetry, is a stone colossus, a stern and inexorable goddess of destiny. It is like the angel of wrath holding the flaming sword. Its eye strips and condemns a world in which the ugly, the banal, and the inhuman are triumphant. Dressed-up poverty, hidden disease, and secret vice lie revealed before its radiant nakedness. It is so though capitalist civilization had been brought before a kind of revolutionary tribunal: beauty holds judgement and pronounces its verdict in lines of tempered steel.

A Posy for Mother, by Austrian artist Edmund Adler (1876 – 1965)

That look...

On the first day of NNN, we call everybody into the war against our desires, being coomers, addicted to our pleasures which makes us weak and effeminate, a perfect recipe to make us unable to fight back against our enemies.

Many people think it's impossible to stop. Do you know why you will become like an animal in the first weeks? One reason is that your body is not used to the amount of testosterone. It's no problem for a real man, but for someone who has castrated himself with a nut, it is unusual.

So much of that energy is wasted to become consumerist cucks who follow their pleasures long before undertaking the hard work of the duties in life and standing our ground. Being a real man is all about self-discipline and self-sacrifice, to be steadfast in what is right, regardless of the pain or the temptation involved.

Do you want to become a man? Maturity comes through suffering and responsibility. If you act contrary to this, you’re going to be a miserable, overcome that, then you will reach your peak.
