Reflections of the Warrior of the Light

     A warrior of the light often becomes discouraged.
     He thinks that nothing contains the emotions he hoped to awaken. Many afternoons and nights he is forced to remain sustaining a position he has conquered, without any new event to bring him back his enthusiasm.
     His friends comment: "perhaps the fight is over."
     The warrior feels pain and confusion upon hearing these comments, for he knows he has not yet come as far as he wished. But he is stubborn, and does not abandon that which he set out to do.
     Then, when he least expects it, a new door opens.

     The warrior of the light knows: everyone is afraid of each other.
     This fear can generally be seen in two forms: through aggression, or through submission. They are two sides of the same problem.
     That is why, upon being confronted by a someone who inspires terror, the warrior recalls: the other man is just as insecure. He has overcome similar obstacles, and has lived the same problems.
     But he knows how to deal with the situation better. Why? Because he uses fear as a motor, not as a brake.
     Thus the warrior learns from his opponent, and acts in the same way.
