"A real man makes his own choices that either end in success or failure. He should be proud of his accomplishments and take fault for his short comings. A man who refuses to live his life by his own choices and instead submits his right to choose to the authorities that govern the society in which he lives cannot be considered a man, nor does he deserve that privilege of survival that will not be granted to him. The man who willfully gives up his basic rights for the disposal of another human will face two outcomes: one, he may succeed and become heroic, but he will always be faced with the truth in his mind that his accomplishments were not of his own doing; and two, his life will become a place similar to ancient ruins, a once gleaming atmosphere now in shambles with only destroyed evidence that something great did exist at one time and can no longer be reattained. Both of these outcomes are of opposite poles, but have the same consequence: Unhappiness.
