Being a warrior...



"Being a warrior isn't about taking lives.

Being a warrior isn't about showing strength.

Being a warrior is not showing how much knowledge you have.

Being a warrior is learning how to cry.

Learning how to cry,

because when a man learns how to cry he is learning understanding.

He is learning how to understand,

because when a man cries then compassion starts to grow.

He is learning compassion.

Being compassionate, loving all children, respecting everybody, protecting your family."
