I respectfully disagree. I don't know you, except by your words on this board, but those words speak clear crisp truth as fresh and vibrant as a cold mountain stream. I think you need to slightly modify your definition of warrior. Maybe you're not a sheepdog, but you may certainly be a warrior. There's a great book you should read (I'll bet you can get it at amazon.com) titled: Living the Martial Way by Forrest E. Morgan, Major USAF. It's a book on the martial arts but the warrior philosophy it speaks of extends to all our lives and and situations. Read it. Heck, you may decide to take up Aikido and become a sheepdog, too.
Aikido sounds neat, but I don't have the time to learn that artform/discipline. Some days, it's hard enough to make time to not be a sheeple.
Warrior? dunno. I haven't been tested, yet.
