The Devil Is in the Detail

Oh, come on now! Just what could you possibly expect?
This is only the beginning. And the dreaded onslaught has yet to fully arrive.
So it is best that you begin to protect your own precious self. Psychological warfare
will soon prove to be an arduous task. You must take it day by day. Stay the course and
do not falter. Because whether you like it or not, there are not many good places for you to turn.

And while my simple words may seem empty to you now, if you choose to ignore me
I can only say that someday they will be quite prophetic. You have a real opportunity here,
so it would be better if you heed the call. Too many losers have put us increasingly at risk.
So it is better that you try to beat back the enemy. And if you believe that this is just a silly
little rhyme, I suggest that you get up, pack up your bags and leave me right now. Your fate
will soon be in your own hands but mine will forever be with me. Too many stupid fools
have failed to follow my advice, and I have only lived to see them suffer dearly.

So you better be ready. The strength and nature of the first attack may be very hard to fathom.
But I can tell you this. I have seen psychological scars that last a life time. And they only end with a
slow and painful death. But if I were to offer an initial unsuspecting guess, it would seem
that your wellborn mind will become the primary target. The heart, the penis and the testicles are just
too easy to attack. Beware of your loved ones though, because they may be the first to suffer.
There is nothing like the painful death of a loved one that will drive home Satan's ugly sword.
Let me tell you, I have seen countless strong men lose their faculties often screaming in the dark.
Big men raped in prison. Forever losing their dignity. Reveling in their own self hate.

So be tough. Mental discipline is the answer. Please realize that your body is no longer yours.
Preserve your spirit. This will allow you to win. And don't be afraid to scream. It is not a sign
of your weakness. He will know that you are strong because you have your own code of honor.
And your strong will will be the key to your success. So never let him take it away. Smile as you cry
because you will overcome. Do what is right. And fail to respect the strength of his force. But please
realize that although you are a special one, there have been many men who have suffered just like you.

At the same time, however, it is extremely important that you begin to understand your exceptional attributes.
Ordinary men would undoubtedly shake and vanish. You however, have your own special skill.
And perhaps it is even more important that the time appears to be exactly right.
A tough backbreaking fight could, in fact, bring him to his knees, my friend. Few people have been
given your opportunity. So when the bell rings you must agree to come out fighting. You must hit him
and hit him hard. Look him straight in the eye and never look away. We have real faith in you.
We certainly know what you are made of. And of course, we have already done the math.
If you can land some striking early blows, he will not last more than the first few rounds.
But be advised that you may take a severe early beating. But in the end we believe that you can ultimately win.

So do not delay. Maximize your mettle. Gather your grit. And let's begin this great empyreal fight!
