True warriorship is not aggression, but bravery, or one who is brave. Sometimes it is described as fearlessness. The north American Indians had such a tradition of human bravery. The Japanese ideal of the samurai also represented a warrior tradition of wisdom. Our planet has many fine examples of true warriorship. This true warriorship means not being afraid of who you are. Not being afraid of yourself. In the face of world problems we can be heroic and kind at the same time. When we are afraid of ourselves and afraid of the seeming threat the world presents, then we become extremely selfish. We want to build or own little cocoons, so that we can live by ourselves in a secure way. We must try to think how we can help the world. If we don't nobody will. You don't have to rush out and try to be president, but you can start helping your relatives and friends and the people around you. The important point to realize is that you are never off duty.
