You are not even about to cheat anybody. There is a sense of straightforwardness and simplicity. With setting-sun vision, or vision based on cowardice, straightforwardness is always a problem. If people have some story or news to tell somebody else, first of all they are either excited or disappointed. Then they begin to figure out how to tell their news. They develop a plan, which leads them completely away from simply telling it. By the time a person hears the news, it is not news at all, but opinion. It becomes a message of some kind, rather than fresh, straightforward news. Decency is the absence of strategy. It is of utmost importance to realize that the warrior’s approach should be simple-minded sometimes, very simple and straightforward. That makes it very beautiful: you having nothing up your sleeve; therefore a sense of genuineness comes through. That is decency.","author":"Chögyam Trungpa","tags":["decency","genuine","simplicity","straightforwardness","warrior"],"id":4073,"author_id":"Ch%C3%B6gyam+Trungpa"},{"text":"Jesus is the Commander of two armies.

As Commander of these armies, He shows us how to take back from the enemy all he has stolen that is rightfully ours. We do that in prayer as prayer warriors!","author":"Stormie Omartian","tags":["armies","commander","god","prayer","warrior"],"id":4818,"author_id":"Stormie+Omartian"},{"text":"You are wrong,” says the man. His voice is low and resonant. The metal walls of the dome, all the knives and swords and spears, all seem to vibrate with each of his words. “Your rulers and their propaganda have sold you this watered-down conceit of war, of a warrior yoked to the whims of civilization. Yet for all their self-professed civility, your rulers will gladly spend a soldier’s life to better aid their posturing, to keep the cost of a crude good low. They will send the children of others off to die and only think upon it later to grandly and loudly memorialize them, lauding their great sacrifice. Civilization is but the adoption of this cowardly method of murder.","author":"Robert Jackson Bennett","tags":["civilization","conflict","imperialism","jingoism","militarism","murder","nationalism","patriotism","peace","propaganda","soldiering","soldiers","war","warrior"],"id":7843,"author_id":"Robert+Jackson+Bennett"},{"text":"Face me and learn that I’m not alone, attack and you’ll find that my Leader stands beside me.
