Paulo Coelho
The warrior of light is aware of his own immense strength; he never fights with anyone who does not deserve the honour of combat.

Thank you, I’ll remember that. But sometimes it can be difficult to know when to pick a fight. Who is really an enemy, and who is just an annoying fly? If the real enemy is hiding in a swarm of flies, it is tempting to smack a few flies hoping that it will clear the sight so you see the real enemy.
Thank you, Paulo Coelho, for the masterpiece ‘Manual of the Warrior of Light’. I was re-reading it lately..
Thank you for making me THINK! Only by … using the energy of Mind we can change … ourselves. Because we cannot change anything, but our ..way of feeling, perceiving the world and thinking .. differently.’
… he never fights with anyone who does not deserve the honour of combat.

But we try to .. understand him/her and ..send him our love.
LOVE,
Thelma.
sure.. i guess there should be a respect for disrespect :)
Querido Mestre,
Le guerrier de la lumière est au courant de son immense force, il ne se bat avec quelqu’un qui ne mérite pas l’honneur de combat.
(Manuel du Guerrier de la Lumière)
O pior combate é aquele que se faz e é desnecessario. Acho que neste caso o guerrier usa sua força pra ter paciência suficiente de esperar o tempo do combate acabar e enfrentar todas os desafios de seu adversario sem agir da mesma maneira.
Como disse Thelma ontém, depois da guerra não tem vencedor, independente do resultado. Todos perderam. Seria maravilhoso se isto fosse visto antes da guerra começar, e que desta forma a guerra poderia nem ter começo.
Meu amor, meu respeito, minha gratidão sempre…

‘I wish’!!!..great philosophy though : )

Yes
I am aware of my immense strenght
Not because of me -
but because of Gods immense strenght – in me
I have recently realized the power
of chosing my own path & way
Now I neither want to or benefit from
battles outside my consern or interest
The real & good battles I fight
becomes treasures for me – because of
the learning which takes place -
both in me & the combatant
Finally a good fight gives me
wisdom & preparedness in my calling*
Sooooo true.
I’ve just been fighting somebody. He tried to “cut my wings”.
(as Thelma put down so beautiful in the question of the day of yesterday, thank you for that).
For me it seemed worth the fight. But now, after 5 months, am done fighting now.
And I don’t know if it was worth it. It seems there are no winners, it seems that everybody lost.
Love
El guerrero de la luz es consciente de su enorme fuerza, que nunca peleas con alguien que no merece el honor de combatir.
Pues me parece que no tiene que ser tan así…un verdadero guerrero de la luz, sabe que el triunfo de conciencia esta en la humildad y no hay que desmerecer nada en esta vida. El verdadero conocimiento esta en no subestimar, (todo esta puesto por algo en nuestro camino) un instante de honor lo debemos de tener todos no dejemos escapar a ese “alguien” por considerar que no es merecedor de un combate, simplemente observemos el detalle de la cuestión…quizás ese alguien arma ese combate ficticio por que quiere sentir “el placer, honor tal vez… de enfrentarse a un guerrero de una enorme fuerza” no por el combate en si, simplemente por una gran admiración.
By acting-he get’s provoked for fight,flight,surrender-otherwise reacting:during this period “eiter the Shah will die or the donkey will perish.”
This is a right one. I totally agree. Wish I would remember that always, so I spare time and energy.
This must be a very mature warrior of light, injured in combats and growing wiser by harming others and himself.Obviously he now knows to use his strength well
Not completely all right: I discovered my strengths and my “possibilities” only through the experience(experiment), the age, and also through the difference (I / the others)
The strength is to know also its weaknesses, and to make it assets which make you stronger.
The strength is not the true strength, and the weakness is not the true weakness.
The search for peace, and the collection of the love for all is noble; the fight has nothing brave !
