Horrible philosophy

His name had been Qin Shi Huang, the unifier of China after the Warring States period, great warrior, ruler, and builder—the Great Wall was just one of his accomplishments.

Also a noted tyrant and follower of the Legalist philosophy of government. Whose basic maxim was: Punishment produces fear, fear produces obedience, obedience produces discipline, discipline produces virtue. Therefore, punishment produces virtue.

Philosophy

Life

Life is inherently fatal.
You are born to die.
It is your destiny,
Each day merely puts off the inevitable.

I think I will create an outline for the depressing story I started during the lockdown.

Strength and Foregiveness

German 'Snipers Code', 1944

Fight Fanatically.
Shoot calm and contemplated; fast shots lead nowhere; concentration on the hit.
Your greatest opponent is the enemy sniper; outsmart him.
Always only fire one shot from your position; if not you will be discovered.
The trench tool prolongs your life.
Practice in distance judging
Become a master in camouflage and terrain usage.
Practice constantly; behind the front and in the homeland, your shooting skills.
Never let go of your sniper rifle.
Survival is ten times camouflage and one time firing.
German Infantryman Operations Manual: The German soldier 1939-45 (all models) (Haynes Manuals) by Simon Forty

For those that are interested in what life was like for a German Sniper, I recommend Sniper on the Eastern Front: The Memoirs of Sepp Allerberger, Knights Cross.
