As a warrior without aggression, you are fearless and good. Fundamentally, you can never make a mistake, so please cheer up. Even in the darkest of the dark age, there is always light. That light comes with a smile, the smile of fearlessness, the smile of realizing the best of the best of human potential. All the teachings, the very heart’s blood of the warrior tradition, are yours. We are all part of the same human family. Let us smile and cry together!
