Re: The Defender’s Creed
Being one that follows the Taoist philosophy, you just have to look at nature and the way the world works. Every living thing has the ingrained instinct to protect themselves and their kin. When species are not able to do this, especially those that do not reproduce quickly like humans, they become extinct. Even non predatory vegetarian animals practice fighting from a very young age, including the chimpanzee. The most dangerous animal on the planet is not the loin, but the plant eating hippopotamus. If you can’t defend yourself, your family and your territory, you will soon disappear from the planet.
What puts our species at the top of the food chain is our spirituality. Practicing self defense such as KM connects me to the spirit inside of me that wants to thrive. Creeds such as those posted are spirit boosters. I see nothing wrong with them as long as they are not taken to fanatical proportions.
