Within the boundaries of his own being, in that bright realm, let him claim the supremacy which is his: it will remain vacant, unless he seize upon it. It is his; he may take it or not. All else is the night and darkness. Music he will make among the stones and silence. He will sing for his own ears; the justification is himself and the song. To that he must be true, if not himself? To what else should he be true? He is a born hunter. Let him not forget the taste of meat.

Free Gorean men are full of fierce pride in whom and what they are. Their homestone, caste, abilities, ideas and even their sex, are all sources and outlets for such pride. A Gorean knows what he is and does not seek to be other than that. He seeks rather to be the best he can at what he is and what he desires to be.
Goreans accept what they are and the inevitability of the actions that this causes. They do not apologize for being themselves. They do not try to correct what (Earth) society says is wrong, if what is inside them says is right. They are what they are, and do what that is. Each has his own place, let him decide what place that will be, and not what others feel it should be. |
