Did you know
That a warrior and a pacifist
have no philosophical differences….save one?

Some people only pose
As thinkers and doers
But never climb mountain high
Or crawl around in the sewer

Some people only cry
For themselves or their stuff
Meaning criticism or excuse
When they mutter too tough

Some people only fight
In a chaotic way
No center to their essence
Nothing new to say

Some people only live
Never knowing they’ll die
Except intellectually
And even then..

most of that is a lie….

Your comment is only true if you are advocating Pacifism.

However if Warrior is the chosen path then self defense is the basis upon interjecting oneself in the dance of death. The situation may present itself that someone is going to die in the room but..it will not be me or mine if I have anything to “say” about it. The other guy is completely wrong about torture. It only seperates you from the last gasp on surviving with humanity intact. You dispatch your enemies with efficiency. Violence is always the very last thing. Ps…chris you are not allowed to baby sit any kids I know if you won’t die fighting to defend them if it comes to that…
