The true warrior is not happy all the time. The true warrior is not in a state of eternal bliss. The true warrior is not without a normal emotional response. No, the true warrior is just aware that he or she will not make decisions based on the state of his or her emotions.

It has been said that, when you are wound up, you should let it out. You should express yourself. New studies in the area of brain research and interpersonal skills show that this is not as healthy a technique as it once was thought to be. It turns out that giving outward physical expression to your emotional state, as a release mechanism or coping strategy, just leads to the development of an aggressive personality. The best strategy is that of the true warrior, who takes a step back, takes a calming breath, and returns to centre (no matter how long that takes) before embarking on any course of action.

You are warriors, and with your emotions under control, you will take over the known world. So it is written.
