Re: Am I Really Practicing Budo?
I like it and want to believe it. The existence of a cohesive stable group (civilization contains the connotation of civilized but doesn't require civility) is I believe more through rule of law, often supported by arms. Morality maybe from the beginning, or maybe evolves. The USA has been a society through war, slavery, and a wide spectrum of inequalities that have little connection to morality. I see the warrior over time representing power. What we are powerful for changes.
