THE WAY OF THE WARRIOR

THE WAY OF THE WARRIOR is seen as a separate way of HUMAN DEVELOPMENT,LIFESTYLE, and ACTIVITY/BEHAVIOUR......which is usually painted in various ways to form primarily a MASCULINE/MACHO/TESTOSTERONE/AGGRESSIVE MALE,etc. and only occasionally includes the WOMAN WARRIOR......all of whick follow stereotypes and mythic images,whether male or female..... The modern military forces of various nations today are said to be 'warriors' and persons devoted to fighting wars and using various technological implements to do battle, to kill enemies, and also the ubiquitous 'terrorists' as well as others who get in their way, whether friend, foe,innocent bystander, or civilians(the collateral damage) and the like...... One very neglected group of WARRIORS that only occasionally make the news reports and receive a 'isn't that terrible' comment is CHILD WARRIORS....usually boys and regarded much the same as 'child prostitutes'...as victims of the modern world and exploitive persons and groups,etc... The harsh realities of life and the constant presence of death are brushed under the carpets of the rich, well-fed, safely secured and locked up societies of the world, the elite who could care less, and those who hire the various warriors to protect them and see that their life styles are maintained.... Elevating warriors and other death-dealers to a Mythic Heroic Status is a way to help fragile egos as well as egomaniacs fantasize about the glories of war and conflict and of fighting...all of which are done on various SCALES AND LEVELS....whether in the streets among gangs and street fighters/warriors or with elaborate rockets handled by robots and software,etc. Fighting one's own battles in life and dealing with all kinds of personal conflicts,real, imagined, fantasized, or presented by others.....may,indeed, render one into becoming a 'warrior' of some sort....before one finally kicks off and ends up on the compost heap of humanity that fertilizes the earth...and feeds the 'gods of war'.....
