083. Warrior of Light

When the moment for combat approaches, the warrior of light is prepared for all eventualities.

He analyses every strategy and asks: ‘What would I do if I had to fight myself?’ He thus discovers his weak points.

At the moment, his opponent approaches; he comes with a bag full of promises, treaties, negotiations. He has tempting proposals and easy alternatives.

The warrior analyses each of the proposals; he also seeks agreement, but without ever losing his dignity. If he avoids combat, it will not be because he was seduced, but because he judged it to be the best strategy.

A warrior of light does not accept gifts from his enemy.
