026. Warrior of Light

The philosopher Lao Tzu says of the journey of the warrior of light:

‘The Way involves respect for all small and subtle things. Learn to recognise the right moment to adopt the necessary attitudes.’

‘Even if you have already fired a bow several times, continue to pay attention to how you position the arrow and how you flex the string.’

‘When a beginner knows what he needs, he proves more intelligent than an absent minded sage.’

‘Accumulating love brings luck, accumulating hatred brings calamity. Anyone who fails to recognise problems leaves the door open for tragedies to rush in.’

‘The battle is not the same as the quarrel.’
