AVERAGE MAN IS TIMID, AND THEREFORE HE GOES FROM ONE ACT TO ANOTHER WITHOUT ANY THOUGHT OR CARE. A WARRIOR, ON THE OTHER HAND, ASSESSES EVERY ACT WITH THE UTMOST CARE, AND BECAUSE HE IS INTIMATELY AWARE OF HIS DEATH, HE MOVES PRUDENTLY, AS IF EVERY ACT IS HIS LAST BATTLE. ONLY A FOOL WOULD FAIL TO SEE WHAT ADVANTAGE THIS IS. A WARRIOR GIVES HIS LAST BATTLE HIS FULL RESPECT, FOR IT IS ONLY RIGHT THAT HIS LAST ACT ON EARTH SHOULD BE HIS FINEST ACT AND A REFLECTION OF HIS IMPECCABILITY. IT MAKES HIS ACT A JOYFUL ACT, AND IT TAKES THE EDGE OFF HIS FEAR.
