Conditioning obstructs our view of reality. We do not see IT in its suchness because of our indoctrination, crooked and twisted.
A man strikes you, make him bleed. He makes you bleed, you break his bones. He breaks your bones, kill him. Being hit is inevitable, strike back twice as hard.
If your opponent is at a distance, kick him in the groin. If he gets close, poke him in the eyes, bring up your knee, pop him with an elbow, dig a corkscrew punch to his stomach.
Like everyone else, you want to learn the way to win, but never to accept the way to lose - to accept defeat. To learn to die is to be liberated from it. So when tomorrow comes you must free your ambitious mind and learn the art of dying!

Self-Conquest is the greatest of victories. Mighty is he who conquers himself.
I don't want to do anything halfway. It has to be perfect.
If every man would help his neighbor, no man would be without help.
