Even if a man has no natural ability he can be a warrior by sticking assiduously to both divisions of the Way."</em></p> </blockquote> <p>Both refer to the complete man (the recognition of reality of violence, and the warrior aspect, refers to this more socialogically to males, but woman is not exempt), a '<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-actualization">self-actualized</a>' man in '<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow%27s_hierarchy_of_needs">Maslow's hierarchy of needs</a>'. The 'self-actualized' human is person who has desires to become more that one what one is, to become everything that they are capable of being.</p> <p>One approaches from a artistic, philophical point of view, while other approaches from a life of violence and pratical point of view. And both converge on the idea of becomeing a complete human, yet another idea explicitly defined by a psychologist.</p> <p>This ideal, has been on of my primary drivers of my life.</p>artmusashiphilosophywarriorhttps://www.okbilly.com/posts/the-actualized-human-being-a-warror-part-ii/Mon, 06 Apr 2026 17:07:51 GMT
