Start Living a Warrior Lifestyle
by Juliet One · July 27, 2012 · Posted In: First Line
Today the United States of America as a whole lives a completely different lifestyle than our forefathers. Now I could reference all kinds of differences between now and then but in this article I’m going to concentrate on one subject in particular. The subject that I’m referring to is a warrior lifestyle.
This is something that I feel we have moved away from as Americans. Make no mistake our country use to be a warrior culture. Our country was founded by warriors; men that took cold blued steel and fought to the death to build our nation. Their ideology was far from “lets not offend” or “we might hurt people’s feelings”, etc. etc.
Our founding fathers were rebellious and courageous. They were men of principals. Principals that they would give their lives to uphold. They were warriors in every sense of the word.
With those types of personalities at the helm, our country was destined to be a powerful nation. Throughout the years those principals and lifestyles have been diluted. Back in those days, everyone needed to know how to defend him or herself. Everyone needed to know how to catch and kill dinner. People needed to know how to sew clothes and wounds. They needed to know these things because that is what it takes to survive in a world that is unforgiving.
Now some would say we are blessed not to live that way anymore. Others “like me” feel we have wondered way to far from those principals.
I can tell you it is obvious to me especially when I get together for a family event or some other gathering and the big topic is the “new I Phone 4” or “Bob shot Par on the course today it must be that new driver of his”.
Yes, we live in a much different time than that of our forefathers. We are blessed that we are able to live this way because of the principals that our forefathers upheld. Today I believe we are starting to run out of the fat that we have been feeding off of for years. I believe our lifestyles have to change if we expect to continue to live with the freedoms and luxuries we have come to cherish.
One of the reasons I believe our country as a whole has forgotten a lot of our principals and core survival skills is technology. Technology has taken us to a whole different level. We have evolved with the times and much of it is necessary.
But I also believe throughout our country’s evolutionary process we have been crippled in many ways. We have become overly dependent on it.
Now I’m not going to knock technology for the simple fact that it has and does allow us to kick ass on the battlefield. But that doesn’t mean we can’t take it upon ourselves to learn and stay proficient in the core fundamentals and skill sets without the use of technology.
That I feel is where technology has crippled us. Our hard skills as a country are nowhere close to where they use to be. If you took technology away from our citizens tomorrow we’d get our asses handed to us on all fronts.
Let me give you this as an example. What would happen if half of the United States lost power for 2 weeks? I’ll give you a couple of scenarios. Most people would be screwed for the simple fact that most of them don’t carry any cash on them. ATM’s would be down because they need power to work. People wouldn’t be able to get gas because the pumps don’t work when there is no power. Stores would be closed because they need power to run their registers. How will people survive without being able to purchase water and food?
I could go on but you get the picture. I’m not even going to get into the sheeple who have no idea or means to defend themselves or their property. That is a whole new article in itself. But it goes along with what I’m discussing.
