Warrior Wednesday...on a Thursday

"When selecting arrowhead, long thin ones are best because these will pass out the other side of the target they strike."

Each tool has a specific purpose.  When we use them for their intended purpose, great things happen.  With the rule for this week (from The Hundred Rules of War) we are reminded to choose our tools carefully.

In a fight, each technique should have a purpose.  The more techniques, or tools, you have, the better.  

Truth is, we're always in a fight.  Except most of the time we're not worried about which punch to throw.  No, in the daily grind the fight is more about choosing the right words, or posture, of facial expression.  

Words, like arrowheads, can go right through your target, or they can stick.  Combine the wrong word with a lack of eye contact, and you've got a recipe for disaster.  I'm honestly terrible at this.  The hardest part is that recovery from an ill-timed word often takes a lot longer than an ill-placed punch.  Oi!  Some days I'd rather just get back in the ring with Anatoly Polyakov or Bazooka Joe and get beat up again.

But, we keep fighting.

​Osu!
