the Absolute Will. But, above all, we will fight because we know that you, who have
guided us to the War against the Asuras, will not abandon us in Hell. You are a
Warrior of Heaven and Hell, a Man of Honour, and you’ll know how to take us out
from here!– Such conviction, it is obvious to clarify, impressed me profoundly.
–Are we in Hell? We have reached so far! –Karl von Grossen commented with irony–. It
is possible then that the son of the beach of Schaeffer be near, because this is the most
appropriate place for him.
Of course, no one imagined that the joke of von Grossen corresponded to the strictest
reality: the traitor and the German expedition were near, very near from there. However the
journey was not retaken until the next morning, by my iniciative. I wanted that all could rest
and I searched trivial regrets to justify the stop. I explained, to the not hasty
Standartenführer, that I needed to «mediate» about what was seen and heard, and check the
orders of the dogs daivas. And I think that for first time in the journey, from Bhutan, everyone
were internally grateful to have lost a day in the Threshold of the Valley of the Immortal

The camaderie is not a quantifiable connection, a measurable relation, a reason
amongst partners. It is not a mere affective nexus, as the friendship, but a spiritual
coincidence, the identity of ideals that are realized simultaneously. The camaderie is
determined by absolute instants: the time and space of the fact; but it lacks of extensive
temporal dimension; it means, the camaraderie does not admit category of duration, it is

of the coincident circumstance; implies the encounter of two or many, in a same instant, with a
common ideal that is fulfilled. The friendship, on the contrary, is temporarily extense and
spatially limited; it consists in a thick sentimental nexus, almost measurable, that joins the
people with independence of the fact in which they participate. The friendship is independent
of every ethic moral because it emerges from the heart, as every affective relation. In the
camaraderie, on the contrary, is always present the Honour. It is demanded to not question the
moral behaviour of a friend; it is a duty, whereas to observe the ethic attitude of a Comrade:
The homeland could be betrayed, with the help of a friend. But it is only
possible to die for the homeland, with the help of a Comrade.
From the opposition between the friendship, affective, and the camaraderie, spiritual,
emerges with clarity why the traitor achieves to extend his betrayal in time, «forever»,
analogously to the friendship, and why the hero must demonstrate his courage in the act of an
instant, instant in which the Honour, and the ethic of the humility, obeys to forget later: that
instat of the hero, which carries implicit all the courage in the act of its occurrence, is the
