The Path of a Warrior
There may come a point when you must neutralise the threat, and how you choose to do this reflects your own spirituality. In the service and protection of others, one can argue that this is a necessary evil. Your martial path has now touched the elements of truth and distinguishes between those holy places heaven and hell - without them there would be no balance, no yin and yang, no understanding and no opportunity to better oneself through absorbing moral values. Although your parents will have taught you moral values, you have the freedom of free will to endure hardships to cleanse your spirit and to choose your own budo path.
