Unfailing Determination

I don’t know how I’m going to win. I just know I’m not going to lose.

The true warrior refuses to lose. The only way to actually defeat him is by taking his life, and even then, he wins, as he fought for what he knew was right and never turned his back on his principles or his code. The warrior is not afraid to die, if he must, for a just cause.

While you may feel that you have defeated the warrior, the truth is that you merely won one small battle; you did not win the war. Winning a battle is not the same thing ending the war. The war is not over until the warrior declares it to be over, and depending on the situation, the warrior won’t let it go or walk away with his head hanging low.

He will never lose. This may seem like a strange statement, but it is true nonetheless. The warrior is not defeated until he decides to give up, and he won’t give up. If you have crossed a true warrior and seriously done him wrong, you better not rest on your laurels, because sooner or later the account will be balanced. And if you know this fact, you will have many sleepless nights, while the warrior sleeps like a baby, biding his time, while you worry about what he will do and when he will do it.

While the warrior may not know exactly how he is going to win, he does know that he is not going to lose. There is a saying that revenge is best served cold. But the warrior is not interested in revenge. He is only interested in justice; and sooner or later, justice will come to those who have been unjust in their cause. And when a meal of justice is served up, whether it is served up hot or cold, you can bet that the warrior will be the chef, the server, and the bus boy, all wrapped up in one complete package.
