attitude of a warrior. There is no use in being sad, complaining,
feeling unjustly treated, and believing someone is doing something
negative. No one is doing anything, and certainly not to a warrior.
~~~~~~~
It matters not how we were brought up. What determines our way of acting
is the manner in which we administrate our will.
The will is a sentiment, a talent, something which lends us enthusiasm.
The will is something which is acquired – but it is necessary to fight
for it one's whole life.
~~~~~~~
The humility of a warrior is not the same humility as that of a servile
man. The warrior does not lower his head to anyone, and nor does he
allow anyone to bow before him. The servile man, on the other hand,
kneels before anyone he believes to be more powerful, and demands that
the people under his command behave in a similar fashion before him.
~~~~~~~
The bad thing about words is that they make us feel as if we were
illuminated and understanding everything. But, when we turn and face the
world, we see that reality is completely different from that which we
discussed or heard. A warrior seeks to act, and not waste time in
useless conversation.
~~~~~~~
The ordinary man thinks that yielding to doubts and worries is a sign of
sensibility, of spirituality. Acting thus, he remains distant from the
true meaning of life. This type of person loves being told what he
should do.
Only a warrior can endure the path of knowledge. A warrior does not
complain or lament anything, and sees challenges as neither good nor
bad. Challenges are simply challenges.
~~~~~~~
The world is unfathomable and mysterious, just as we all are. The art of
the warrior consists of reconciling the terror of being a man with the
wonder of being a man.
