While I don't agree with your dissent on evolution or with abrahamism in general, I will say that the referenced passage is valuable wisdom as is the art of war passage. I also agree that society has devolved into a shallow hedonism and morally and spiritually corrupt dystopia. I would supplement, people who will not kill for anything will also not live for anything. Dying is passive. Anyone can lay down and die. Not everyone can exert the pure force of will required to destroy those who seek to subjugate them.
