No. 674 - The warrior poet does not live for himself
Wisdom and tales from the Warrior Poet
The warrior poet does not live for himself.
The warrior poet knows that the key to being alive is death. He recognises that life is more than mere existence.
Existence is easy. Any fool can exist. To truly live - to be fully alive - is to die.
This is not a death to ambition or purpose. Neither is it a death to personal growth and development. It is rather a death to a self absorbed and self consumed life.
The warrior poet understands that to truly live is to live for something larger than himself. It is to live for something other than himself. He knows deep down that a world orientated around himself is not the sort of world others would want to live in.
