The dragon grinned
''I don't mind critism'' he reached for a scroll in his satchel ''I wrote guidelines for my school but, with Shinsei's help, came to realise they appeared more like orders. Could you have a look?''

-The Path of Self-reliance, script received by the students of the dojo of Wu
I have met many man of professed wisdom, both true and false, during my travels but the words of one of one of my old mentors echoed more profundly within me. This is the essence of what he believed in the words of my friend and fellow student Mirumoto. Meditate on these words

5. Do not ever think in acquisitive terms.
6. Do not regret thing about your own personnal life
7. Do not envy another's good or evil
8. Do not lament parting on any road whatsoever.
9. Resentment and complaint are appropriate neither for oneself nor others.
10. Do not let yourself be guided by the feeling of lust or love.
11. In all things, have no preferences.
12. Be indifferent to where you live.
13. Do not pursue the taste of good food.

He scanned it over a couple of times.
"Well. Not a code I could ever live by- love has guided me to some of the few actions in my life I consider virtuous- but it seems a sound code for creating a specific sort of order."

''The line about love also tripped Shinsei'' he admitted ''We do not think love is bad...but sometimes people are blinded by it. In any case I will need to review the whole thing...perhaps starting with that one.''

Re: D7 EA: Subterranean possibilities
"Might want to think about the meaning some of the words have... like, let's talk about love. The love I'm thinking of is the sort that would lead me to die in defense of the Emperor's children without a moment's regret if doing so would save them. Or for my friends. So for me, it's a strange word to pair directly with lust, which I think is a bit more of a problem, since it seldom motivates anyone to do anything but screw. The thing with writing- with getting things down like this- is that precision is vital to conveying intent, because you w0on't always be there to unpack it for your readers..."

He smiled.
"It's not my philosophy that needs it. I just encourage you to think flexibly about how you're expressing yours."

"The trick is to teach the words first, so that the concepts can be made clear. For example, if I say, 'jam the tip of your sword into that guy's solar plexus,' it's just a stream of noise unless you know what a sword is, where the tip is, and what the solar plexus is."
