Words to think about.
Below is an excerpt from the last book I read. The book is Gates of Fire by Steven Pressfield. It’s a novel about The Battle of Thermopylae. You know, about the 300 Spartans. It really describes what I can only imagine what one could feel in combat. It may not be of interest to anyone but me but here it is.“Here is what you do, friends. Forget country. Forget King. Forget wife and children and freedom. Forget every concept, however noble, that you imagine you fight for here today. Act for this alone: for the man that stands at your shoulder. He is everything, and everything is contained within him. That is all I know. That’s all I can tell you.”
Again, that is an amazing paragraph.
