Making the virtues of the warrior lifestyle a part of your life is not merely for your own benefit. The true warrior will work to make his life a life of excellence, and will also strive to be able to use the traits of the warrior lifestyle to help other people. The same goes for your martial arts skills. Are you learning your self-defense skills only as a means to keep yourself safe or do you feel a duty to use those skills to defend those who are weaker than you and who need someone to defend them? The true warrior will feel a duty to help and protect those around him. As Robert L. Humphrey stated in The Warrior Creed: Wherever I go, everyone is a little safer because I am there. Wherever I am, anyone in need has a friend. Whenever I return home, everyone is happy I am there. Mr. Humphrey’s sentiments in his poem are a great example of his virtue being put into action to help others. Epictetus said that the product of virtue is tranquility. When you live your life with integrity and virtue, and with the kind of attitude that is expressed in The Warrior’s Creed, you will find that you will indeed live a tranquil life. The tranquility that comes from leading a virtuous life comes from knowing that you are living life as it should be lived. You have a clear conscience because you constantly strive to make your decisions based on what is right and what is wrong.
