The Warrior

The way of reformation is that of the confucianist; The way of art is that of the buddhist; Those who grief are for the children; For those who love dumbly, it is that of weakness. The way of life and all embodiments is that of the warrior. To be a warrior is not to be ready to die, but to excel in everything and anything, not on skill but sheer determination and ferocity. It is about being ready for the unteachable; To react and engage in the most natural way. To walk the life of a warrior is to be and see the small details, to be a master carpenter of life. They see what others do not see and act on it. They understand that humans have a code and they enforce their will on that code without the human knowing. They understand that it is impossible to reverse the direction of a large group, but easy it is to see its intention. Hard it is to see the intention of an individual, but easy it is to change their will. They understand that in every practice of life there is always a state of mind, and the state must be with that path for if not, then it is not a genuine path. A warrior must understand what is right and true, to practice and cultivate all practices, to understand and relinquish the arts unbound, to understand deeply the principles of his or her path, to learn to see things for what they are, to avoid deception and illusions of society, to be aware, and to be careful even in the smallest of matters. Above all else, to not do anything useless. For a warrior, when life is on the line, will use and wield every practice with mastery till triumph.
