00:00:49.840Uh, and so, you know, it's, I'm not going to be like, well, you know, my friends got tired of this, so I'm going to be tired of it too and go hang out with them and not be ousted anymore. That would be silly. Uh, no, you can't be ousted true and be willing to give it up for mundane hardships.
00:01:09.840hardships. Uh, like the old Harry Goethe said, you know, standing by your faith in the ice here
00:01:15.260doesn't always, you know, build up your savings account, uh, if ever, but it's, it's not about
00:01:23.760that. It's more than that. It kind of goes back to how I was speaking with that Swedish member
00:01:28.000about materialism, replacing faith. Uh, what's more important, you know, obviously you need to
00:01:34.460put food on the table and whatnot. But I don't know, I think, unfortunately, or fortunately,
00:01:42.680I guess, depending on your outlook, we do live in, it's called the wolf age, right? We live in this
00:01:47.880age of cowardice, largely. People are cowardly, people can be lazy, and it gives us this opportunity
00:01:57.640to truly be Alcetru by simply being Alcetru and remaining Alcetru,
00:02:04.400keeping that loyalty to the Aesir in the face of real hardship, of course,
00:02:10.200or even silly, fake child's play hardship, you know?
00:02:15.680It gives us the chance to be those heroes that we read about to a lesser extent.0.94
00:02:20.940Nobody's going to force a snake down my throat with a hot poker
00:02:26.880But I get to I get the opportunity every day to wear my hammer and my go thought ring and my arm ring and all that and be openly Alcetru and remain Alcetru.
00:02:41.720So I think if you don't do those things, you need to reevaluate what you're doing or what you're not doing and then call yourself Alcetru.
00:02:52.220I think a couple of decades earlier, Rob the Strong didn't think anybody would do that either.
