A true samurai doesn't fight.
A true warrior doesn't get angry.
A true winner doesn't compete.
(from this chapter)
★★★
A true samurai doesn't fight. He accepts all.
If you are angry, you are already defeated.
★★★
"Simply, he doesn't compete. That's why no one under the sky can compete with him."
(Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching Ch.22)
This is the essence of Aiki-do 合気道, or Tao of synchronized energy.
(☞See Aikido 22-12, Don't compete 66-7, and Aikido & Tariki / Other people's power 68-6)
