Addendum
Part 5:
Common personality traits considered those of a "warrior" or "modern samurai" often include some of the following:
1. Sense of honor and strong moral code
2. Sense of obligation to other people and institutions
3. Fighting for what one believes in, even against hopeless odds
4. Following a chosen path in life that adheres to our ideals, regardless of the sacrifices and obstacles
5. Perserverance in any endeavor to achieve an objective or sustain a way of life
6. Sense of humility and humble desire to learn more and improve in any skill or personal trait
etc., etc.
Permission is hereby granted to those who identify with any or all of these traits, and who are fond of using such words as "bushido" and "Modern Samurai," to hereafter refer to themselves as an "unwavering idealist" to be more in keeping with the modern western culture and numerous individuals in Western history who also exemplified these traits, and less in keeping with a fictitious Hollywoodized Japanese culture......Jaggoff.

I like autumn best of all, because its tone is mellower, its colors are richer and it is tinged with a little sorrow. Its golden richness speaks not of the innocence of spring, nor the power of summer, but of the mellowness and kindly wisdom of approaching age. It knows the limitations of life and it is content.
