I try to deny myself any illusions or delusions, and I think that this perhaps entitles me to try and deny the same to others, at least as long as they refuse to keep their fantasies to themselves.

I’ve always been one to try to live a larger than life lifestyle, I am not afraid to take on the impossible or difficult pursuits in life, I harbor no fear. I know my convictions and I know I had no choice, I have many passions as well as hatreds and I follow them all to the extreme for their own sake.I’m not a lover or a fighter I am just concerned with what is right. I have not even feared death until I fell in love, and even then it is because I feared her suffering and my loss. I’ve come to think I’m impenetrable, resolute. I’ve broke nihilism and gone in pursuit of passions for their own sake.
However, reflecting on the past years I’ve come to question my convictions. I often wonder if they are really just compensation for a lifetime of suffering and loss, or if they truly are genuine.
I often wonder if it matters.

To speak plainly and truthfully about the state of our world—to say, for instance, that the Bible and the Koran both contain mountains of life-destroying gibberish—is antithetical to tolerance as moderates currently conceive it. But we can no longer afford the luxury of such political correctness. We must finally recognize the price we are paying to maintain the iconography of our ignorance.[37]
