The lost role of the Warrior. The word Warrior is wrongly defined in most, if not all of our dictionaries, and only a very incomplete version even seems to exist. Here is the Websters Dictionary definition of the word. Warrior: A person who fights in battles and is known for having courage and skill. A man broadly engaged or experienced in warfare. That definition is incomplete, and largely bullshit... The true purpose of the Warrior is so far beyond that vague and shallow definition of one of mans deepest and most inherent roles. A true Warrior is much more than someone who engages in battle. A warrior is someone who has taken the time and effort to balance his role of being a protector and a humanitarian. He is someone who is willing to do battle to protect the people of his community, he is also someone who would carry meals to the elderly or walk the children to school. He is a man who has done the greatest battle of all, the battle of his soul, learning to know where he stands in the world, fully engaged with his lifes purpose and fully engaged in the truth of his heart. A Warrior is man who is not afraid to cry or show compassion, or play with the children, but knows when the time for play is over and action must be taken. A warrior is a man who has mastered a balance between his emotional self, his physical self, his intellectual self, and his spiritual self. A true Warrior is able to hold his head high and with honor because he knows that he has chosen and followed through to live his life with purpose, honor, and integrity. Warriors often choose to walk alone much of the time, preferring solitude over the company of men who do not choose a life of service or honor. Being a Warrior is a chosen path of seeking excellence and following your moral compass. It has nothing to do with being a soldier or a mercenary. It is about doing the battle of the heart and soul, before doing the battle of the sword, but also an understanding of when to do both. ~John B~
