What’s the value of personal outrage? To the true warrior, other than invoking it as a weapon or a tool for making a point, or in an argument as an exclamation point, it is a waste of time, energy, and brain cells. The true warrior wishes to live a serene and tranquil life. The true warrior does not seek out discord, distress, and confrontation. When faced with such a possibility, true warriors do not engage their emotional engines. They keep the ignition keys in their pockets, so that they can properly explore the situation or circumstance before developing a plan of action, and before engaging an emotional reaction by acting the part but not actually being controlled or driven by emotional instincts. Therefore the only value of personal outrage is as a tool or implement stored in the weapons locker or weapons cache. Otherwise there is absolutely no value in personal outrage. It is damaging and destructive to those who wield it!

Personal outrage is the dubious luxury of those who may be able to afford it … but can they really? You are warriors and you cannot afford any personal outrage. By disciplining yourself and embracing the way of a peaceful mind, you will be far more effective with your interpersonal relations … and with excellent interpersonal relations, you stand a far greater chance of becoming and staying successful. So it has been written.
