    Cycle of society:
    Tytler said the cycle starts out with a society in bondage. Then it goes in this sequence:
    From bondage to spiritual faith;
    From spiritual faith to great courage;
    From courage to liberty;
    From liberty to abundance;
    From abundance to complacency;
    From complacency to apathy;
    From apathy to dependence;
    From dependence back into bondage.
    Alexander Tytler [was] a Scottish historian who lived at the same time as the American Founding Fathers, [and] described a repeating cycle in history. He had found that societies went through this same cycle again and again, and that the cycle lasted roughly 200 years each time.

  • @deafhain
    @deafhain 4 года назад +1

    Amazing thing about Firas is not his knowledge in philosophy +combat sports, but how he takes all those references and puts them into a context and applies that to real life. We’re all posting some philosophical stuff nowadays but to recognize the global path and the correlations between the elements of life is a real virtue. Props to the other guy as well, it’s not an easy issue to extrapolite Firas ideas to another domain if you’re not a combat sports practitioner. One last word - of course (Brazilian) Jiu-Jitsu changed my life as well and I’m grateful that our paths crossed.

    His entire mindset is Islam!

    -Righteousness (especially when nobody is looking)
    -Discipline (to be unceasing in your battle against your base desires)
    -Truth (Even as a witness against yourself)
    I’m not a combat sports connoisseur it seems to me like Islam is essentially the Jujitsu of religions!
