 Hello lads, this is a follow up video to my podcast, my latest podcast named The Greatest Glory. So I got a question from my man, John, from France. He asked about my opinions on extreme sports, whether it's worth risking your life for. Now, first and foremost, I definitely understand to 100% the yearn, yearn for glory. The need for glory that pulls men up to the height of gods to quote Dominic Venner. I understand perfectly well these daring feats. You see in extreme sports a while back I retweeted on Twitter a video of a surfer surfing an absolutely massive wave. It looked extremely dangerous. I looked at it and I felt a certain type of envy but not envy per se. More a sense of admiration, a deep admiration. I wrote it as well that this isn't something I could do because it's beyond my skill level so I can only admire it. I can only express my admiration for this. I admire the path this man has taken. And of course, speaking in purely athletic terms, I've chosen another path of martial arts and strength training, powerlifting, etc. So I still have chosen an active life like that. And although I'm happy with my path I've taken, and of course if you're talking about glory as I mentioned in the podcast, which you should definitely listen to, I recommend you to sign up to the podcast, first link in the description box below. When you have listened to the latest episode, you will know what my greatest glory and what my deepest desires are. And of course, had I been given the option again, I wouldn't change a thing. So that being said, I still, I understand and I appreciate the need for glory, the yearn for glory that pushes these men and sometimes women to do these daring feats such as surfing on a massive wave. Now the question came about as a result of a tragedy actually because there was a young French guy who died in a climbing accident. Now the question at hand then, is it worth risking your life for? If you ask me and I say no, I'm not comfortable saying no because then I might deprive someone of glory. And believe you me, I am someone who perfectly understands the need, the yearn for glory. And for certain guys, they take that path to attain personal glory. I understand it perfectly well. Then on the other hand, if someone asks me, do I endorse it if someone asks me in the capacity of a brother, of a father or some sort of leader, I'm in a different position because I, of course, it breaks my heart when I think about a young French guy. Athletic, happy, healthy, he could have had a family, he had a family who will grieve his passing etc. And if I think about the greater goal at hand, which is of course to restore western civilization, it is a kindlefeldt loss. So on one side I want to say no, but on another side I want to say yes of course the follow your heart desires, which is to pursue that sense of glory. Usually when I make a video I want to come to a conclusion, I want to give a firm recommendation, I want to say this is exactly what I recommend. But in this case I can't really say it because I understand all too well the desire for glory and I also don't want to deprive someone of the chance for glory because ultimately it's not for certain that death is involved. But at the same time do I recommend risking your life for a brave climb or something like that. Hard to say, a tough question, so I don't really have any straight answer but if I had to give an answer I would probably say that you will forgo a lot by risking these things and ultimately risking a lot for a greater goal than your own personal glory. Yeah it can be worth it but it might not be as worth risking your life for only your own personal glory. Even though again I understand it perfectly well had I chosen a different path you might have seen me riding atop a massive wave. I don't know but I do understand the yarn for it, I do understand what pushes men and women to do that type of activities. So I'm not saying that it's completely pointless to do it because again you have my full understanding if you want to do that but at the same time there might be more to life as well. So anyway that being said I hope it was somewhat insightful at least. I'm not sure if it was since I didn't really give a firm recommendation but I thought to respond to the question at least give some additional perspectives and of course if you haven't already listened to the podcast episode I strongly recommend you to do so, first link in the description box below. Now thank you for watching XXO, boom!
