Any values that don't proceed ultimately from strength (which has, at least, a significant physical component) are worthless and I don't trust them.

Also, to get a better view of things such as injustice and strife, you have to really be exposed to such things (in the most seemingly extreme way). Not really saying that I have, but I at least try hard to imagine. It doesn't seem like strife in war is very glorious now, either! I think you're talking about imaginary or pretend strife!

The only way I would be so much for real strife (I'm not talking about personal quarrels or competition) would be if glory or honor could possibly accompany it. It's kind of funny when I see people express that they want more strife... because they're just little fish, ultimately.

Competition, on the other hand, I'm all for. Also, on a side note, I wouldn't mind being taken back several hundred years or so, but alas, hehe...
