Being a warrior…

“Being a warrior isn’t about taking lives. Being a warrior isn’t about showing strength. Being a warrior is not showing how much knowledge you have. Being a warrior is learning how to cry. Learning how to cry. Because when a man learns how to cry, he’s learning understanding, he’s learning how to understand. Because when a man cries, then compassion starts to grow: being compassionate, loving all children, respecting everybody, protecting your family.” – Nathan Chasing Horse, Lakota Spiritual Leader
