In Rage
Flight or defense is instinctual in human preservation. But preservation instincts only carry us so far, terminating at a point over an abyss. Here, we are faced with two choices. Exhausted, fearing our instincts futile, we may leap into the abyss, relinquishing to tyranny that has driven us hence, forsaking all now and all who come after. Or in anger, we may find clarity and turn from fear and futility, to rage — rage against the tyranny that would sunder from us our most fundamental humanity, our desire for liberty.
In our growing rage, we are sustained, elevated, and balanced. Rage will be our salvation and guide. Rage will preserve us when institutions and their tyrants ignore, threaten, and betray us. We designate our rage for and dedicate it to the tyrant, to save the humanity he would strip from us and our children. Controlled, carefully-harnessed, with pinpoint accuracy, to him we direct our rage. Let it bear the tyrant to the precipice, torture him incessantly along the way, and then cast him into the abyss.
