I would like to share my admiration for those of you who have not indulged in pointing out how frequently I post, and how this is yet another sign of how I'm not a warrior. If you've truly gotten over these measurements, it is a sign of how well you're doing. :lol:
Sincerely though. It's no small accomplishment.
All measurements are personal and arbitrary, as they assume oneself to be the the ideal instead of just another description. In other words, the only measure one can make starts from oneself, one's ideas, concepts, beliefs, opinions, knowledge.
If you don't possess ALL knowledge, your measure is partial, personal and arbitrary.
Even if you think you're measuring someone against the warrior's way, you can't do this! If you are not the complete warrior, your measure will be partial and incomplete.
As a warrior, one can never know enough of the totality to make a conclusion about anything or anyone. This is not a warrior's concern. Hopefully, you've dropped this as well.
You can make false measurements and think that you know something; or you can revel in the mystery and assume your place in it, as it. (as DJ said)
