OPPORTUNITIES
A man’s opportunities are never exhausted so long as other men (who are not his friends)possess millions of acres and thousands of tons of gold.The guarded treasure halls and iron-clad temples of modern kings and presidents, highpriests and millionaires, are positively the richest the world has ever known.Bulging are they with the vast hoards of silver and diamonds and gold.Here, then, is opportunity on a colossal scale. Here is the goal of the Cæsars,Nebuchadnezzars and Napoleons in the days that are coming.All is ready and prepared for them, even as in olden times.Cæsar carried off the treasures of Egypt, Greece, Gaul and Rome. Napoleon looted themoney vaults of Venice, Vienna, Madrid, Berlin and Moscow. London only escaped him.Nebuchadnezzar plundered the Temple of Zion, where the Jews kept all their depositsand drank his beer and wine out of Jehovah’s pots of gold.Napoleon, Cæsar, Nebuchadnezzar! They were three great men, were they not? And inthis their greatness consisted — they seized their opportunities.

Might is Right by Ragnar Redbeard This is quite a honest depiction of the world without God. Theodicy upside down. In fact, nature is so cruel that at the same time let us doubt a good creator and make us hope in It, lest making a meaningless absolute out of all this sound and fury
Always and forever, much of this shall remain true. It is self-interest that is the sheppard of the people, rather than an abrahamic god, and those with weaknesses are led to failure, whilst those with strength live on.
Truth then, truth now, men like this and their philosiphies have molded and retained the modern governments that control us today. This unorthodox book is enlightening if you can get past a life time of being taught and adhering to Christian ethics.
