Inner Warriors
We must all become warriors -
not just passive beings.
At some point we must assert our convictions
to defend values we intend to keep.
Each person has an invisible sword and armor
forged from the core they feel:
Its strength & flexibility
come from our zeal
The best sword is one-pointed intention
& there's no armor better than love.
Use both instruments wisely:
the hawk must coexist
with the dove.
| Frida: | D'ya understand this? |
| Satoru: | Nawh – saying all folks must be warriors ignores the diversity of human dispositions, né? |
| Ying: | I like the way the author cautions about the use of power. |
| Frida: | Indeed. How often do humans use power wisely? |
| Dmiritri: | There's an irony here: those with real power seldom need to manifest it. Only at crucial moments is power needed. |
| Frida: | Hmm. Aren't most governments a systematic attempt to silence peoples' power? |
