dog mean fighting
Inside of me there are two dogs. One is mean and evil and the other is good and they fight each other all the time. When asked which one wins I answer, the one I feed the most.
children warrior sacrifice
For us, warriors are not what you think of as warriors. The warrior is not someone who fights, because no one has the right to take another life.

They take their tithes from the poor and weak to support the rich and those who rule.
