Journal Entry: Musings on the Bushido Code
Today, I reflect on the principles of Bushido, the "Way of the Warrior," that guide every aspect of my life as a samurai. This code demands unwavering loyalty; we are so devoted to our lords that we would follow their commands even if it brings harm to ourselves or our families. Our dedication to honor and bravery defines us as warriors, compelling us to face even the fiercest battles without flinching. Furthermore, Bushido teaches us the value of simplicity and discipline, reminding us that true strength comes not from indulgence but from a focused and restrained life. As I uphold these tenets each day, I strive to embody the spirit of a samurai, living honorably and courageously in all that I do.
