This may be the first thread I do that is sorta out of line with the usual theme of my account.

Aziz Serguéyevich Shavershian otherwise known as "Zyzz"

It may not seem like it, but this is sorta related to what I touched on previously:

Life may seem futile for some nowadays, the mental and physical state of many is in shatters. What's to be done now? The lack of a serious movement to follow, and the situation of politics truly showcase a future which doesn't seem too promising.

As it's mentioned in the previous thread, it all comes down to a battle for the self. A struggle that should aim for an internal battle that either makes you sink, or lets you free. Everyone, no matter who, has to deal with this as a whole.

Whether you sink in hedonism, or you pursuit a political victory, it all comes down to you as a person. This is where inspiration and modern role models come in, and this is why I'd like to pick on "Zyzz" as an example of someone that should be looked into.

The usual view, is that this man was a drug addict that did steroids and spent most of his time in parties and now holds a community of incels that goes around spamming edits of him against women.

Truth of the matter is that, Zyzz is more or less what happens when you achieve a synthesis between a Warning and a Role Model. He can be pretty much be considered a warning and a source of inspiration, which, is the actual perception that the people that like him tend to hold.

The man in on itself has to be the best role model for many out there. His failures and flaws were recognized later in his life, and it is in the moment he fully embraces the idea of leaving behind his shitposting, when he's about to fully embrace the inspirational side he had...

the same moment where he dies. Zyzz was an important figure in fitness groups since he endorsed the idea of lifting people up, be it that they are fat, weak, ugly, nerd, etc. No matter who, they are going to make it, and the community should make sure of it.

Coming from that same background, Zyzz would aim to spend time making others feel comfortable of improving themselves, and realizing that no matter their conditions, they can always make it a little bit better for themselves through passion and goals.

His conception of aesthetics is worthy of noting, since he also caused a massive amount of people not to feel intimidated to hit the gym, but feel accepted and like they can achieve their goals. Hitting the gym was not only for the giant brutes, but for everyone...

Many would seek aesthetics and overall thanks to Zyzz. We could partially say that his death is what allows him to become a living legend among many nowadays, his youthful passing is what enables him to be a myth. He became beautiful only to die at his peak.

As many natural body builders and even critics of Zyzz point out, despite his flaws, the inspiration he puts upon many, and the community his myth created is what makes him a worthy role model. His body can be done naturally, and if he were alive today, he'd lament his vices.

“If you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning.”

This quote tends to be true, until we find someone like Zyzz that enabled himself to be a synthesis of both.

At the end of the day, his flaws and vices can be disregarded due to the actual inspiration and groups that came after him, which now follow his example while avoiding his mistakes. Near the end of his life he also realized the need for mental and physical health balance...

which is sorta what in my opinion makes his death interesting, since he truly died in a moment of his life where he could have developed into something greater, yet he died at his youth and remained as an eternal myth that even to this day, lifts people up.

As he used to say, Zyzz is not even a real person, it's just an attitude, and all of us have a bit of that supportive caring attitude that pursuits struggle and improvement of the self. Thus the need to constantly push others up and help each other go through issues.

I know this thread is sorta spergy and random, but I believe most of us can learn a thing or two from the example of this man, which I consider a worthy source of inspiration in the modern day.

The End.
