The Warrior of the Light views life with tenderness and determination.
He stands before a mystery, whose solution he will one day find. Every so often, he says to himself: "This life is absolutely insane".
He is right. In surrendering to the miracle of the everyday, he notices that he cannot always foresee the consequences of his actions. Sometimes he acts without even knowing that he is doing so, he saves someone without even knowing he is saving them, he suffers without even knowing why he is sad.
Yes, life is insane. But the great wisdom of the Warrior lies in choosing his insanity wisely.

Your mind has intrigued me since I met you, Maju. It is, in my opinion, one of your greatest qualities. Don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise.
