To live truly as a warrior, and help make peace, we must set an example of treating all persons, even those poorer and richer, dumber and smarter, better or worse, with basic respect. Yet, if we don't respect the lives of others, even if we don't like or understand their behavior, conflict or violence will naturally result. All people are the same in this way. Our martial arts skills can give us the courage and confidence to see the life value in all persons, and support and defend that value. Life, not culture, color, creed, or behavior, is the most important and universal value.
Life is worth defending.
