The Unification Epicenter of True Lightworkers
Why Does the world need Warriors?
Anyone care to share their thoughts? Why does the world need Warriors?
We have reached a point where peaceful protest carries much power, so why do we need strong individuals?
People like Martian Luther King, Martian Luther, Ghandi, Mother Teresa; I consider to be Warriors. They may not fight physically or entertain physical violence in any way, but they have the strength of spirit to risk their lives, to lead and influence. They refused to betray their own moral compass and did what they thought was right. They all followed a higher calling and used the power of faith.
It takes more strength and confidence to face up to adversity and the evils of this world without violence than it does for a person like me who has confidence in the fact that I can handle myself physically.
A true Warrior is someone who does what they know deep down is right regardless of the physical risk to themselves.
Remember, in essence Ghandi, Martian Luther King, Martian Luther, JFK and Y'shua the Anointed were troublemakers. The world needs troublemakers more than people who bow their heads and agree with what they are told. Without them we cannot achieve Spiritual health or evolution.
Without them we are a dead race just biding our time.

That is perhaps why you found that confusing Red Fox, I know that you are skilled Warrior who has the discipline never to attack unjustifiably. In fact I’m sure that even if extreme anger and feelings of vengeance arise you would have the discipline to hold it back.
I have actually seen Red Fox facing someone in the street who spat in her friends face. He came at her with a broken bottle and she disarmed him with her voice, she said, “Don’t be silly, put that down NOW!” as I recall and he did.
Not one punch or kick, but she had confidence, common sense (maintaining safe distance) and not one shred of fear.

Trudy free speech is not only available; it is encouraged. This is actually a good discussion, because it opens up an aspect of warrior culture that I have spent many hours pondering and gives me a chance to spout out my ideas.
The word 'Attack' paints all kinds of images. In my understanding of honour, the word attack usually implies an un-honourable act and anyone attacking someone without good cause would be banished (if I was making the rules).
So what is good cause?
Well firstly let me explain something about the first martial art I learned Wing Chun, one of the most practical and effective Chinese Martial art (if not the most effective). One of the principals is that you wait for an opening or opportunity; this comes when your opponent has launched their attack. So you see, under this principal, the Warrior does not attack, they counter an attack.
A true warrior does not strike first.
This is a principal of discipline. When you watch two Masters of Kendo or Kenjutsu facing off, and if both masters are older than sixty (having the wisdom of age), you will not see much as neither fighter will move, the man (or woman) who does, will loose in a single stroke.
Neither will be foolish enough to launch the first attack.
So when is it justifiable to attack? I can identify two occasions.
When another is at risk if you do not. If someone is being threatened, if you've tried words already, if you believe another is in imminent danger if you do not attack.
Even if someone has wronged you, hurt or killed someone you care about or even may hurt someone else, it is not justifiable to attack, that would be vengeance and vengeance can come from a very dark place in good people.
The other is during a contest or training session between consenting adults, when a level of aggression is established that both combatants are comfortable with and when no serious harm comes to either.
So basically under strict rules of conduct. Also both fighters must behave honourably and bear no grudges, if one man falls his opponent offers a hand. If an accident happens the opponent is the first to offer first aid or apology.
Even if you are being robbed it is questionable. Any martial art with a genuine philosophy will say 'what is more valuable, you life or your wallet?'
So I say the True and Honourable Warrior rarely attacks if at all.

But respect first, see the other as a part of yourself, why would you attack yourself... but defends is a whole other meaning, that is where the warrior takes a stand!

I think the key word here is disciplin

Genrally a trained and disciplined warrior is not violent. The few acceptions are usually found in the military and the police. Funny that, that the occupations where it is generally acceptable to train in violence produce more people who missuse it than your average martial arts enthusiast.

I understand what you are saying Trudy, hollywood is a cras and unrealistic representation of the hero. What I am saying is that the idea of the Hero is an intrinsic part to our culture. Look at any folklor from any age and you will find the hero: someone who ether has a special skill or power and uses it for others (not always) or make the ultimite sacrifice. Even look at the huge culture of comics and graphic novels.
Hollywood has a formula for making films, they are a very non-risk organisation and seldom tell a different story, but that's a whole nother conversation.
I'm not saying we should find our heroes in hollywood, not at all, hollywood is just a reflection of what is already in our culture.
It is an effect, not a cause or source.

A true hero, doesn't come from films !!! A true hero doesn't fight, a true hero has unconditional love for his fellow human. When you see violence/and heroes as a part of our culture, then you are further away from any truth that can be.

also in popular culture, we like the idea of heroes. Someone who has extra special powers or skills and use those powers to protect those who need it. There are many adaptations, the anti-hero, and the super villain. In film culture usually it is clear-cut good guys verses bad guys. The more adventurous films, comic culture and ethnic mythology the heroes and villains are more complicated than that more flawed, more human.
My point is, we all love and want to believe in heroes. Some of us want to be heroes; to know that our life meant something that maybe our death will serve a higher purpose.
It is an integral part of our culture.
