[Mecha-Lenin]

Who can attain to anything great if he does not feel in himself the force and will to inflict great pain? The ability to suffer is a small matter: in that line, weak women and even slaves often attain masterliness. But not to perish from internal distress and doubt when one inflicts great suffering and hears the cry of it — that is great, that belongs to greatness.

Honestly, this sounds psychotic.

Honestly, this sounds psychotic.

It is not advocating psychopathy. Psychopathy involves the lack of empathy so to overcome it is not strength at all and a psychopath is unable to motivate themselves into action with empathy. A psychopath likely has a significantly weaker will than others. Greatness is about having firm interpersonal boundaries a clear sense of self and not letting the negativity of others bring you down. A psychopath claiming to be strong is like someone who has never seen battle a day in their life claiming that they are courageous

"Fairy tales do not give the child his first idea of bogey. What fairy tales give the child is his first clear idea of the possible defeat of bogey. The baby has known the dragon intimately ever since he had an imagination. What the fairy tale provides for him is a St. George to kill the dragon."
- G.K. Chesterton, Tremendous Trifles.

Spoiler: Literary Heresy

Though I am also just as fond of the often mis-quoted version - “Fairy tales do not tell children dragons exist. Children already know the dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children the dragons can be killed.” - as I always interpreted it not as a child being given hope that their demons can be defeated, but rather that the 'dragons' are symbolic of imagination and hope and the like; while the 'fairy tales' in which they die are the ways that adults and reality try to quash it. Though it seems like a more pessimistic viewpoint, I always took it to heart as reason to 'believe harder' in said metaphorical dragons.

...I was a very spergy kid for literature symbolism and dragons, all right?

That's so important." - Hideaki Anno
