Wednesday Word
Warrior
Merriam-Webster Definition:
A person who fights in battles and is know for having courage and skill
Quintessential Voyage Definition:
A person who sharpens their skills, trains their physical strength and abilities, posses courage and other morals, and who lives for honorable victories
I'm not hating on Merriam-Webster but their definition is a little outdated and in modern context the word "warrior" applies to a other classes of people, not exclusively to soldiers and troops.
Warrior-citizens: that's what we should pursue to be. Possess within ourselves the ability to better civilized society and to defend our beliefs, loved ones, and homestead.
The modern warrior is not necessarily skilled in the art of war.
Warriors are:
- skilled in leadership
- well-versed knowledge of the world around them
- train their physical strength and abilities
- protect and guard their loved ones and their homestead
- enrich the lives of those around them
- further their position within their tribe and society
- preserve the good spirits
- destroy the evil in the world
- they have strong character that is supported with solid courage
- they are compassionate to those less fortunate than them
- a role model in all that they do
Warriors live their lives with the knowledge that life is only temporary but their legacy could last for eternity.
