I think that the whole "Warrior" meme (for non-servicepersons) is at best a tool for attaining a specific mindset/worldview, but at worst is a "fantasy escape" from ones true reality. An interest in "warriorship" and study in their arts/skills is on…

A Belief Statement

One of several things that I believe in is honesty. This is a tough belief to have and follow through on when there
