Why would
a nation
built on peace
have need
for armed forces?
Why do officers
of justice
carry firearms?
Why would your neighbors
study the martial arts?
Listen;
the thorn
defends the rose
and harms only the few
that would destroy
the blossom.
Is it not better
to be a warrior
in a garden
than a gardner
in a war?

I know why I did martial arts, because I like the discipline it involves.

There are very few practices that incorporate such discipline these days.
