The
barbarian has no morals. He obeys tribal codes that he does not
understand, but accepts. Fairness exists only relative to his own
interests. Empathy is foreign to him. He holds life cheaply and kills
casually. He loathes outsiders and obeys no universal laws. His tribe is
ruled by
hierarchies which gain their position through brutality and trickery.
And he assumes the world works the same way.
He cannot and will not interact with a more advanced civilization on any
terms other than these. Cunning barbarians may learn the languages of
more advanced civilizations and even ape their values for their own
purposes, but they never adopt them. When a barbarian speaks of
democracy, he means power. When he talks of religion, he means the
worship of his own power. When he prattles of morality, he does not mean
universal laws, but anything that impinges on his own power. - See more
