There he lays, on his face, brimming with wounds and grasping for air! Look at this poor fool not comprehending the war is his own creation, not accepting yet that the battle advances from within and not external. In his self annihilation and ignorance he has lost the most invaluable, priceless and precious person in his life!
Still surrounded by his absurdity he trudges on as if nothing has happened, his world disintegrates on every side of him, his breath of life is receding and contracting and yet he lays there in his self fabrications doing nothing!
Arise O warrior and fight yourself!
Rise up and meet your challenge of inner discovery, don't blunder in your pain any longer. You are an emissary fallen, but not defeated except by your own self. So stand up, inhale and exhale. Inspire your soul and discover who you really are.
Fear not what needs to change but rejoice in the opportunity for the confrontation for you have not lost and have not succumbed to failure's defilement yet. Explore your core self and conquer what seems invincible and you shall capture a virtuous compensation.
Yes - Now that you stand, face and encounter your inner enemy! Use your strength to confront your fears and depend on truth as your rear guard for you shall be a warrior with honor as you do.
A true warrior fights for the principles of life rather than death! Stand your ground and obtain the rewards of a true and honorable warrior and be able to sing the songs of victory.
