Culture Warrior (2006)
“—DENG MING-DAO The Chinese philosophy of the Tao (pronounced “Dao” and meaning something like “the pathway”) is a personal discipline that aspires to selfless, honorable living. The committed Taoist attains “Scholar-Warrior” status after much study and accomplishment in both the martial arts and “enlightened” thought. Because Taoists are definitely traditionalists, it may be useful to you to learn something of their culture. They believe in the dignity of humanity and adamantly oppose harming t...he innocent; thus terrorists need not apply. They also despise self-destruction, deceit, and the exploitation of others. Taoists form strong judgments about behavior and live by a strict code of right and wrong; thus moral relativists need not apply.
Although much different from the traditional warrior in his or her ultimate goals, the Scholar-Warrior has one thing all traditional warriors should have: a code to live by. This is extremely important, because if you can master a personal-life code of honor, you will not only develop the strength to influence others but also win many of the personal battles you will inevitably have to fight in this life.MoreLess
