Life, So beautiful, and Interesting. Yet, vicious, and conflictual.
One of the things I love about her, is her teaching skills. She's damn good at teaching you what she wants you to know, whether you're willing to learn or not.
The art of war, amongst many things, is something you learn from life, because if you're going to survive on this wonderful planter of ours, you must be a good fighter. Almost every minute of everyday, we are at war, consciously or unconsciously.
We are at war with our bodies, at war with our emotions, at war with the voices in our heads, at war with choices we have to make, at war with sickness that tries to keep us down, at war with our desires (sexual or otherwise), and a host of other things.
Some fights, we win, and some, we lose. If you win, you stay in control, but if you lose, sometime later, you'll have to go back to face that opponent, because he'll be waiting.
Life is a Battlefield.
