Every man always ends up enduring more than he thinks he can because, one day or another, the unexpected forces him to do so and forces him to adapt, allowing an unprecedented strength to emerge from within him under the stimulus of imperative necessity. Modern man, whose daily life seems to concatenate a succession of false certainties, conveying a misleading impression of security, hides from him the notion of his true vigor.
The Realistic and Objective Fictional Narrative…
The realistic and objective fictional narrative, if held and practiced as a dogma, ends up depriving the writer of this true delight that is style, since, by definition, to be realistic and objective is to adopt, so to speak, an “impersonal style”. But this delight, experienced by the poet, the philosopher, the historian and anyone else who understands the individual element necessary for writing, and without which the work is devoid of a link with reality apprehended in the first person, is also an unparalleled incentive to refine expression. The satisfaction of shaping words is the satisfaction of the freedom to say things as we see fit.
In No Way Can the Thirst for Domination…
In no way can the thirst for domination be considered virtuous, although it is a ubiquitous feature of history. Every conceivable reason has been well documented to condemn it, and yet the present century sees it expanding by ever more powerful means, without at least a consensus that it is urgent to curb it, stop it, expose it and subjugate it. Experiencing consequences as obvious and easily perceptible as those we are seeing is something that even animals cannot afford.
If the Various Biographies of Revolt…
If the various biographies of revolt teach anything, it is that one can avoid society, contact and even life up to a certain point where the effort is not only pointless, but generates a very violent retaliation that would not otherwise happen.
