Samuel 8     (TIL)

Samuel told all the words of the Lord to the people who were asking him for a king. 11 He said, “This is what the king who will reign over you will claim as his rights: He will take your sons and make them serve with his chariots and horses, and they will run in front of his chariots. 12 Some he will assign to be commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties, and others to plow his ground and reap his harvest, and still others to make weapons of war and equipment for his chariots. 13 He will take your daughters to be perfumers and cooks and bakers. 14 He will take the best of your fields and vineyards and olive groves and give them to his attendants. 15 He will take a tenth of your grain and of your vintage and give it to his officials and attendants. 16 Your male and female servants and the best of your cattle[c] and donkeys he will take for his own use. 17 He will take a tenth of your flocks, and you yourselves will become his slaves. 18 When that day comes, you will cry out for relief from the king you have chosen, but the Lord will not answer you in that day.”

Nicolai Nerling, whom many of you might recognize from the legendary interview with that Jewish goblin, introduced the initiative of the "Volkskraftwochen" (The Weeks of People's Strength) some time ago and I thought many of you could like the idea even though it's just aimed at us, Germans. The weeks start on 9/11 and end on 11/11. And also go from Ash Wednesday to Easter Sunday each year.

The challenge during these periods is to give up:
– Drugs (Alcohol, Nicotin, Cannabis, etc.)
– stimulants (Coffee, black tea, Cola, etc.)
– Sweets
– Masturbation
– excessive media consumption
– Foreign words
— (own choice here) —

and to nurture:
– Physique (strength exercises, endurance, stretching, etc.)
– Tradition (Folk music, dancing, meals, manual work, card games, etc.)
– Human relationships (incl. sex life)
– your own language
– healthy food (also fasting)
– Education (at best from old books)
– Handcraft (Garden work, shop work, etc.)
— (own choice here) —

The idea is to choose two or three points from each of the two categories and try to achieve that goal with a group of friends.

With all the crazy stuff going on, this might help a couple of you guys to achieve inner peace, at least for a short while. Back in the day, the Nazis had a similar concept called "Strength Through Joy". It's time to start reviving good things.
