He really does.
A lot of people are wondering what they can do about the current situation in their lives, and perhaps struggling to come up with answers. Generally, I have always advised that you really don’t know what you can do until your back is against the wall and you have no options. So, generally, fight like a bastard is the go-to. And generally, it is a sound philosophy, after all, you can rest when you are dead, right?
Furthermore, your doubt about what, if anything, you can do, almost always stems from your simply not knowing yourself well and deep enough. It is the central aspect of what I explained in detail in my Systema book. And it long been knows that this is the very base of any man’s life. The same concept was also written down at the Oracle of Delphi in Ancient Greece: “Man, know yourself.” So it is really imperative you do the necessary work (usually involving blood, sweat and tears in large quantities) to figure out right down to your DNA, who you really are.
At times, though, and if you have had enough life experience to really know what your limitations are —which are generally at least an order of magnitude more than you think when you are in your teens and twenties and maybe even early thirties in some respects— life will come along in a way that will basically be a nuclear bomb going off too close, Godzilla stomping you, or a horde of orcs surrounding you on a plain.
Of course, if there really is no way out, then, you may as well take as many heads as you can on your way out.
But at times, the issue is simply one where you’re going to have to realise, you can only walk away. And nothing more.
