"Physical strength is the most important thing in
life. This is true whether we want it to be or not.
As humanity has developed throughout history,
physical strength has become less critical to our
daily existence, but no less important to our lives.
Our strength, more than any other thing we possess,
still determines the quality and the quantity of our
time here in these bodies. Whereas previously our
physical strength determined how much food we ate
and how warm and dry we stayed, it now merely
determines how well we function in these new
surroundings we have crafted for ourselves as our
culture has accumulated. But we are still animals –
our physical existence is, in the final analysis,
the only one that actually matters. A weak man is
not as happy as that same man would be if he were
strong. This reality is offensive to some people who
would like the intellectual or spiritual to take
precedence. It is instructive to see what happens to
these very people as their squat strength goes up." |
