The Great Warrior

The bible within other ancient texts hold some inscrutable messages very beneficial to the human race. Told in parables (in the case of the bible) or in an orthodox and direct way, which are very difficult you understand. In the case of violence messages are recurrent, and are simpler than other in different topics. The delimitation of good warriors is very often, as in the bible, David, being loyal to God, or Enkidu in the Epic Of Gilgamesh, in The Art Of War it translates a “good warrior” as a cleaver and courageous individual, always having present the “Way” and “Formation”.
As in the bible the best and most efficient warrior isn’t the strongest, the story of David and Goliath, in chapter, 17 of the sacred book of Samuel demonstrates forth the teaching. The invincibility is explained by Zhang Yu as, “Making yourself invincible means knowing yourself, waiting for vulnerability in opponent means knowing others.” (Tzu-Cleary. Pp56) it is a matter of an inner-psychological journey, well for one to see others he has to know who is one. The probable reason, causing few to be successful, it is very difficult to acknowledge you own defects.
