123. Warrior of Light

Sometimes, in the middle of an apparently endless battle, the warrior has an idea and he manages to triumph in a matter of seconds.

Then he thinks: ‘Why did I labour for so long over a battle that could have been resolved with only half the energy I spent on it?’

The truth is that all problems seem very simple once they have been resolved. The great victory, which appears so simple today, was the result of a series of small victories that went unnoticed.

Then the warrior understands what happened and he sleeps easy. Far from blaming himself for having taken so long to arrive, he is simply glad to know that he did arrive in the end.
