The Real Aim of Warrior Life



Kali ini saya bahas warriorship, semoga bisa menemukan tujuan hidup kalian masing-masing.

Tujuan utama Karate tidak terletak pada kemenangan atau kekalahan, tetapi dalam kesempurnaan karakter peserta. Gichin Funakoshi

Hal yang sama bisa dikatakan tujuan akhir dari ksatria. Meskipun benar bahwa ia melatih jiwanya, pikiran dan tubuh untuk menang ketika keadaan menuntut tindakan yang luar biasa, sebagian besar pelatihannya terlibat dengan kesempurnaan karakternya. Menyempurnakan karakter dan menjadi manusia unggul adalah tujuan definitif ksatria.


Selain itu, selama bertahun-tahun, ksatria akan menemukan bahwa ia akan memiliki lebih banyak kesempatan untuk menggunakan pelatihan karakternya daripada ia akan menggunakan pelatihan fisiknya. Tentu saja pelatihan fisik ksatria dan pengembangan karakter keduanya bagian penting dari gaya hidup seorang ksatria, tetapi yang terakhir akan digunakan setiap hari. Karakter Setiap manusia diuji setiap hari melalui interaksi dengan orang-orang yang ia datang dalam kontak dengan selama kegiatan sehari-hari.

Oleh karena itu, sangat penting bahwa Anda mengembangkan karakter moral yang kuat, dan kekuatan untuk menumbuhkan dan mempertahankan karakter itu, sekali Anda telah menanam bibit keunggulan dalam hidup Anda. Anda harus memutuskan apa yang Anda perjuangkan dan apa yang Anda tidak akan berdiri untuk. Jangan meninggalkan karakter Anda dan reputasi Anda untuk kesempatan - bertanggung jawab terhadap hidup Anda. Adalah tugas Anda untuk membangun karakter Anda. Tidak ada orang lain akan melakukannya untuk Anda, tetapi ada banyak yang bersedia untuk membantu Anda melemahkan atau benar-benar menghancurkannya.

     The same could be said of the ultimate goal of the warrior. While it is true that the warrior trains his spirit, mind and body to be victorious when circumstances demand extraordinary action, the vast majority of the warrior’s training is involved with the perfection of his character. Perfecting his character and becoming a superior man is the warrior’s definitive purpose.

     Furthermore, over the years, the warrior will find that he will have many more opportunities to use his character training than he will to use his physical training. Of course the warrior’s physical training and the development of his character are both important parts of the warrior lifestyle, but the latter will be used on a daily basis. Every man’s character is tested daily through interactions with those who he comes in contact with during his daily activities.

     Therefore, it is imperative that you develop a strong moral character, and the strength to cultivate and maintain that character, once you have planted the seeds of excellence in your life. You have to decide what you stand for and what you will not stand for. Don’t leave your character and your reputation to chance – take responsibility for your life. It is your duty to build your character. Nobody else will do it for you, but there are many who are willing to help you weaken it or totally destroy it.
