A critical violent moment is our historical time, a world is collapsing, another has not yet been born. Our era is not a moment of balance, where kindness, compromise, peace, and love would be fruitful virtues.
We live the dreadful assault, we stride over enemies, we stride over friends who remain, we are in danger in the chaos, we are drowning. We no longer fit in old virtues and hopes, in old theories and actions.
Does the wind of doom blow? Is this today the breath of our God? Let us go with it! The wind of doom is the first dancing ecstasy of the creative rotation. It blows over heads and cities, demolishes ideas and homes, passes through the wilderness, shouting: "Get ready! War! War!"
This is our time, good or bad, beautiful or ugly, rich or poor, we did not choose it. This is our time, the air we breathe, the mud that was given to us, the bread, the fire, the spirit! Let us bravely accept necessity.
We have drawn the lot of the warrior, let us tightly gird our waists, let us arm our bodies, hearts, and minds! Let us take our place in battle! Do not deign to ask: "Will we win? Will we be defeated?" Fight!
