"A warrior buries himself in order to find power, not to weep with self-pity," he said.
I attempted to explain but he made me stop with an impatient movement of his head. He said
that he had to pull me out of the cage in a hurry because my mood was intolerable and he was
afraid that the place would resent my softness and injure me.
"Self-pity doesn't jibe with power," he said. "The mood of a warrior calls for control over
himself and at the same time it calls for abandoning himself."
"How can that be?" I asked. "How can he control and abandon himself at the same time?"
"It is a difficult technique," he said.
He seemed to deliberate whether or not to continue talking. Twice he was on the verge of
saying something but he checked himself and smiled.
"You're not over your sadness yet," he said. "You still feel weak and there is no point in
talking about the mood of a warrior now."
