Quote of the Day--Way of the Warrior.

    "The Way of the Warrior has been misunderstood. It is not a means to kill and destroy others. Those who seek to compete and better one another are making a terrible mistake. To smash, injure, or destroy is the worst thing a human being can do. The real Way of a Warrior is to prevent such slaughter — it is the Art of Peace, the power of love."
        Morihei Ueshiba, creator of Aikido speaking of a vision of the "Great Spirit of Peace" in 1942, during World War II, as quoted in Adjusting Though Reflex : Romancing Zen (2010) by Rodger Hyodo, p. 76

  2. It's not hard to tell when Laci posted something, even if his name isn't attached. A quote, taken out of context, and applied to nothing specific? Yup, that's Laci.

  3. Two questions:

    First, what is your point?

    Second, beyond what you've read or heard, what do you know of the way of the warrior?
