Those who discuss their enemies are wimps, not warriors. A real warrior never speaks of who he considers his opposition.
(For those who still prefer their oysters on the trope-shell, reality as metaphor, you can believe this tale is about another world or not):
On one planet there is a species quite similar to man, which has within it an all but unknown separate race of warriors, and while their presence is sometimes suspected, and unwittingly portrayed in myths and fables, the men themselves have never been correctly identified nor their nature understood.
The fully realized ones do not call themselves warriors, and the neophytes do not know what they are, so, “warrior” is just an expedient word employed herein to identify this special group (though not entirely of felicity bereft).
These secret warriors generally look and live like the others of their species, but have several subtle, dissimilar features which, when realized, distinguish them markedly from everyone else; the one the focus of today’s Fresh Real News concerns: recognition of opposition; something they do not practice.
Wherever is life, is conflict, (as perceived and labeled by man’s mind). Conflict over the resources necessary for survival. this conflict is as natural as birth and death and could be used as an operational description of what, in fact, separates and occurs between the two. Just as natural there with the majority, non-warrior creatures is their constant talking about their enemies – those with whom they perceive themselves in serious conflict.
What could be more natural, you might think. Something or someone who opposes you would be, and should be, always on your mind. To be otherwise would be foolish and dangerous. This is so clearly the case that no one gives the matter any notice.
