In the Temple of Steel

Adherents need motivation.

Devotees need motivation.

Even, at very rare times, Masters need motivation.

And it is so with the members of the Yung Young School of Guns. They do have day-to-day challenges in their lives, perfecting small aspects daily, building to an ultimate improvement. Whether it is the cultivation of pain from day to day, the willingness to go that little bit further; or the cultivation of the strength to ignore all around you, the devotees of Master Yung Young have their ways and means of maintaining motivation.

But when the Master sees the devotees lagging, he investigates their motivations, and ways and means to improve it.

Normally this is through threats, and occasionally delivered, violence. But if the Master ate the livers of all his adherents whose motivation dropped, he would not only have few adherents left alive, he would also have a significant case of Vitamin D poisoning.

The Master did not become a guru through stupidity.

The winter months are long, but the Master is patient. It is in this spirit that he offered his devotees the opportunity to demonstrate their prowess in the field of the body. It was an opportunity offered last year, which gave the devotees a goal to aim for with intermediate tasks along the way. The development of biceps, triceps, pectorals, shoulders and obliques demonstrated a commitment to the development of the mind. For the devotee of the Master, the two must go hand-in-hand. And so it is with Mr. Mercantile. The Master knows that pictures tell a story. Thus, a film must tell a greater story. And so:

The Master also welcomes another of his devotees to the blogroll - Miss Vernon.
