Nor does it mean that you don__ understand tragedy, loss, and, most of all, human limitation.I am more than well aware of those things and I feel very strongly, but on the other hand I like to run ten miles and return to a spotless well-ordered room, and I like my shirts heavily starched. When I used to go on a long run on Sunday morning when I lived on the Upper West Side, I would pass thousands and thousands of people in restaurants eating . . . (I won__ say this word, because I hate it so much, but it rhymes with hunch, and it__ a disgusting meal that is supposed to be both breakfast and lunch). There they were__aving slept for five hours while I was doing calisthenics and running__nshaven (the women too), bleary eyed, surrounded by newspapers scattered as if in a hamster cage, smoking noxious French cigarettes, and drinking Bloody Marys while they ate huge quantities of fat. They looked to me like a movie version of South American bandits. I would never want to be like that. I prefer to live like a British soldier.

It is nothing short of a transformed vision of reality that is able to see Christ as more real than the storm, love more real than hatred, meakness more real than pride, long-suffering more real than annoyance, holiness more real than sin. - Discipline
Discipline is aimed at formation for a specific end, and that end is determined by our founding narrative.
But what about the apparent absurdity of the idea of dignity, freedom, and reason, sustained by extreme military discipline, including of the practice of discarding weak children? This __bsurdity_ is simply the price of freedom__reedom is not free, as they put it in the film [300]. Freedom is not something given, it is regained through a hard struggle in which one should be ready to risk everything. Spartan ruthless military discipline is not simply the opposite of Athenian __iberal democracy,_ it is its inherent condition, it lays the foundation for it: the free subject of Reason can only emerge through ruthless self-discipline. True freedom is not a freedom of choice made from a safe distance, like choosing between a strawberry cake and a chocolate cake; true freedom overlaps with necessity, one makes a truly free choice when one__ choice puts at stake one__ very existence__ne does it because one simply __annot do otherwise._ When one__ country is under foreign occupation and one is called by a resistance leader to join the fight against the occupiers, the reason given is not __ou are free to choose,_ but: __an__ you see that this is the only thing you can do if you want to retain your dignity?
