In some cultures, baby boys are put in a small bath tub shortly after being born, and left alone for a while.

If they manage to keep their head above water, they survive. Otherwise, they die.

This cruel ritual answers the following questions:

“How much do you really want to live?”

And,

“What are you actually doing, in order to get what you want?”

For adults, the same situation happens with the next thing that everyone wants: Love.

Similarly, there is always a way to “move our arms in the bath tub”, improve ourselves, in order to get what’s right in front of our nose.

When Love is there but there is no fighting for it, because of too much fear, mixing the heart with the intellect, and just plain laziness, Love goes away.

Fear is the opposite of Love.

Just like the baby in the bath tub, there is a choice to make. Just showing up and waiting, is an easy but deadly choice.

Sex is easy too, even dogs can do it. Real love is another dimension, and it’s not for the weak.

Fighting for it every second of each day makes all the difference. That’s what a Warrior is committed to.
