Shaking Up The World

It was famously said by the esteemed Muhammad Ali:

“I shook up the world”.

What does this really mean?

I see the hero, unfettered by the masses, seeing all the truths.

I believe that every person deserves the chance, and has the potential, to achieve genuine greatness. What does that entail?

What is the point?

Shaking up the world is an act of power. It is something you do when you win over everything. The nearly untouchable Ali danced and laid waste to a world heavyweight champion at the age of 22, thus becoming immortalized.

You must AIM and STRIVE if you want to be worthy of the title of Worldshaker. This isn’t for everyone. There are born heroes.

We do not want to die forgotten, yet human life is becoming very forgettable. We do not necessarily understand what the hero’s soul is like in most cases. This is why we have a pitiful, subjective, often collectivist way of seeing life.

The other is unimportant. Those who doubt your greatness are often in difficult positions themselves, making it unfair for them to assess you in that way. People take your honesty, your sincerity, and spit it all back at you when it’s most convenient to hurt you. Surely there are kind souls out there, but the Worldshaker wants truth, and will never have as many friends as they likely deserve.

The ones who will not be forgotten — surely, they take divinely stated risks. They aren’t willing to accept the shortcomings of ‘mass morality’. They see the cynicism, the death of God, and I think they’ll say “Father, let’s talk”.

Who wouldn’t want to be free? You speak to those who are in self-made chains, they lecture you about how they live their life, and it seems you never do reach a spiritual nexus where you can understand one another.

I am not interested in weakness. I always derive meaning in such a way, with such a feeling of resentment for wasted energy, that I see it as a futile race to speculate on theories of could be, to lecture others on what’s true, to apologize to those who have already blackened your name.

Why play mind games? The times are already doing so. So much has happened that could not be understood. We must value our freedom if we want to win.

Thank you.
