The last man among us!

Concepts such as truth, honor, integrity, courage and heroism are very much out of fashion in the modern world, especially in the US. This is why the traditionally hallowed term “hero” is applied left and right to every bureaucrat or civil servant simply doing his/her job: real heroes are long gone.

We must want to recreate the world and its people. Man must be remade in a superior image and design. Not the vain superiority of the vain leftists, or the twin sides of liberalism dominating the institutions, but with ideals that are higher.

Some of these ideas are dangerous, even the most religious would be aghast at them, yet they come from superiority. Beyond progress and the cycle of history is an ideal. An ideal, whether as a concept or a physical being is something better at large.

When one looks into a heroic image of man, what does one see? They see the structure and form of perfection. I use the sculptor Arno Breker as an example. It’s easy to dismiss his work as lacking value due to history. Yet we must go beyond the time period surrounding him. 

Seeing into the eyes of his sculptures, the forms they have, whether of man, woman or together, symbolizes perfection. Even the political masters of his country didn’t fully understand their conception. It is beauty in the most unique and blunt forms. Many do not like them because of that factor. Not because they are the work of a “fascist,” or some other hoopla, but that they are heroic, superior and of beauty.

It’s easy in today’s post-modern era to forget superiority. Fashionably, people take people at face value, yet that is the easiest approach around.

To quote a German thinker from long ago, If we take man as he should be, we can make him what he can be.

And that reaches further than the vain calls of “progress” or the failed prophecies of the “End of History.”

One could not better indicate the style which a true leader possesses, even when his own life is at risk. It is said that among the last words uttered by the Duke of Aosta, the hero of Amba Alagi, were these: 'I would have preferred to die fighting, out there among my men. But perhaps this is vanity. A man should know how to die even in a hospital bed.' There is no true greatness, save in an impersonality, devoid of vanity, of sentimentalisms, of exhibitionisms, and of rhetoric. Only that which is personal in a true, higher sense is liberated and permitted to shine. And wherever such a man must lead or serve as an example, it will be an entirely different kind of bond which so tightly unites the man who commands with the man who obeys -- bonds that no longer appeal only to the irrational, emotional part of the human soul, the part which is ever open to suggestion.

Kiki Holcombe saw Dominique being stupidly puzzled for once. And Dominique realized that what she saw in his face, what made it the face of a God to her, was not seen by others; that it could leave them indifferent; that what she had thought to be the most obvious inconsequential remark, was instead, a confession of something within her, some quality not shared by others.

Michael Orchard, a heroic man, broke into his neighbor's burning home and rescued their dog. He later found out that the house fire was actually not real but was just a hallucination from the LSD he was consuming.
