You Can Lose - Even If You Win! A Warrior knows that even if they win a fight, they may have broken bones that won’t work right the rest of their life. They may have a broken nose that won’t breath right the rest of their life. They could have an eye torn out and not be able to see right the rest of their life. Or they could have injuries inside their body that could make them die. Are any of these injuries good for the Warrior? No! Sometimes my friend, Sensei Eddy, talks about a cat fight he saw when he lived in Detroit. Two alley cats were in a viscious fight over garbage. One cat killed the other and won the fight. The winning cat walked about half a block, then it fell over and died too. Did that cat really win? As humans we can be smarter than this. A Warrior knows that any fight can be bad for them. So they try to solve problems without fighting first, and they try to live in a way that prevents fights from starting. They treat people nicely They use good manners They listen to people’s complaints carefully They take care of people If they are going to fight, they make sure it is about something that is important enough that they will accept the possibility of injury and death. Great warriors would probably never fight over garbage. Sometimes living like a Warrior takes a lot of courage, especially to prevent fights.
