049. Warrior of Light

The warrior of light pays attention to small things because they can severely hamper him.

A thorn, however tiny, can cause the traveller to halt. A tiny, invisible cell can destroy a healthy organism. The memory of a past moment of fear allows cowardice to be reborn with each new morning. A fraction of a second opens the way for the enemy’s fatal blow.

The warrior is attentive to small things. Sometimes he is hard on himself, but prefers to act in this way.

‘The devil is in the details,’ says one of the Tradition’s old proverbs.
