The Warrior

“The frightening nature of knowledge leaves one no alternative but to become a warrior.”
– don Juan Matus

“It is up to us as single individuals to oppose the forces of our lives. I have said this to you countless times: only a warrior can survive. A warrior knows that he is waiting and what he waits for; and while he waits he wants nothing and thus whatever little thing he gets is more than he can take. If he needs to eat he finds a way, because he is not hungry; if something hurts his body he finds a way to stop it, because he is not in pain. To be hungry or to be in pain means that the man has abandoned himself and is no longer a warrior; and the forces of his hunger and pain will destroy him.”
