   just chillin'...


Bigger Bro brought over "The Last Samurai" yesterday when he came to visit...now that is a kick azz movie...i love period films...:D...
and i fell in love with the 7 Princiles of the Samurai...i got them off of one of the special features on the DVD...kinda reminds me of the chivalry of the Knights of the Round Table...

The Seven Principles of the Samurai


1. Duty and Loyalty - Chu
2. Justice and Morality - Gi
3. Complete Sincerity - Makoto
4. Polite Courtesy - Rei
5. Compassion - Jin
6. Heroic Courage - Yu
7. Honor - Meiyo

Honesty and Justice - Be acutely honest throughout your dealings with all people. Believe in justice, not from other people but from yourself. To the true Samurai, there are no shades of gray in question of Honesty and Justice.
There is only Right and Wrong.

Polite Courtesy - Samurai have no reason to be cruel. They do not need to prove their strength. A Samurai is courteous even to his enemies. Without this outward show of respect, we are nothing more than animals.
A Samurai is not only respected for his strength in battle, but also by his dealing with other men.
The true strength of a Samurai becomes apparent during difficult times.

Heroic Courage - Rise up above the masses of people who are afraid to act. Hiding like a turtle in a shell is not living at all. A Samurai must have Heroic Courage. It is absolutely risky. It is dangerous. It is living life completely. Fully. Wonderfully. Heroic Courage is not blind. It is intelligent and strong.

Honor - A true Samurai has only one judge of Honor, and this is himself. Decisions you make and how these decisions are carried out are a reflection of whom you truly are.
You cannot hide from yourself.

Compassion - Through intense training the Samurai becomes quick and strong. He is not as other men. He develops a power that must be used for the good of all. He has Compassion. He helps his fellow man at every opportunity. If and opportunity does not arise, he goes out of his way to find one.

Complete Sincerity - When a Samurai has said he will perform an action, it is as good as done. Nothing will stop him from completing what he has said he will do. He does not have to ‘Give His Word.’ He does not have to ‘Promise.’
Speaking and doing are the same action.

Duty and Loyalty - For the Samurai, having done some ‘thing’ or said some ‘thing’, he owns that ‘thing.’ He is responsible for it, and all the consequences that follow. A Samurai is immensely Loyal to those in his care. To those he is responsible for he remains fiercely true.
I love Ren & Hao.

What about you?
