Title: No-thing to Prove
Post by: nichi on July 03, 2007, 06:55:22 AM

No-thing to Prove

The warrior, being a free being, has NO-THING to prove, and therefore has EVERY-THING to learn.  But the ordinary man, being a slave unto his preconceived ideas about life, has nothing to learn, and therefore has everything to prove.  As a result the ordinary man is forever hell-bent on trying to prove himself right in the face of all odds, whereas the warrior simply goes quietly about his way in proving NO-THING, the inner spirit of the true warrior.

that's nice.

makes me want to add,

the mischievous being has no heart, no brains, no hope.
the child of the wind has no home, no friends, no tribe.
the illusion is shattered and one tiny ant crawls away.

all fold into their own cocoons,
to sleep in transformation.
what will come forth?
I do not know.

the deed is done.
to each their own.

the traveller left before dawn...
none saw him go,
and to be perfectly honest,
no one really cared.
