Samurai

The samurai warrior
of feudal Japan
is an enduring
symbol
of principled,
self-reliant,
stand-alone
personal
responsibility
and accountability.
Masters of Ch'an,
Zen,
and the Stoics
of ancient Greece
also epitomize
principled,
self-reliant,
stand-alone
personal
responsibility
and accountability.
To avoid the erosive
irresponsibility,
social fragmentation,
and loss of virtue
pervading the world
in these last years
of the 20th century,
surviving cultures
of the 21st century
and beyond
would do well
to carefully instill
a principled,
self-reliant,
stand-alone
personal
responsibility
and accountability
in each individual.
- A.T. Williams
