The Havamal works for me. https://jacksonwcrawford.com/the-cowboy-havamal/ 38. Keep yer guns close. I don’t care what they say, there ain’t no tellin’ when there’ll be call for ’em. An armed man has a shot. That speaks to me more than offering the other cheek. I couldn't find it with a quick search but there is also a 'Havamal for New Yorkers'. George Jones, not the country singer, in 'Honor Bright' compares societies based on honor to those based on guilt. He offers the heathen beatitudes. Blessed are the rich, for they possess the earth and its glory. Blessed are the strong, for they can conquer kingdoms. Blessed are they with strong kinsmen, for they shall find help. Blessed are the warlike, for they shall win wealth and renown. Blessed are they who keep their faith, for they shall be honored. Blessed are they who are open handed, for they shall have friends and fame. Blessed are they who wreak vengeance, for they shall be offended no more, and they shall have honor and glory all the days of their life, and eternal fame in ages to come. I'll admit my forefathers probably were Christian for a thousand years or more but they didn't jot down the Christian beatitudes.
